Must-See Places When Visiting
the Capital City of the Philippines
Manila can offer so many rich experiences for a first-time visitor. While the city may
be known for its modern structures, lifestyle centers, and bustling nightlife, it's also
home to a number of historical and cultural spots that shouldn't be missed.

a famous UNESCO
Heritage Site?

Manila is one of the four Spanish Colonial-era baroque
churches in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It was completed in 1607,
making it the oldest church
in the Philippines. It features
intricate art, grand vaulted
ceilings, 3D carvings, and
majestic Parisian chandeliers.

choice for weddings.
Suppose you're into this type of cultural immersion. Why not visit the Philippines'
three other baroque churches that also made it to the UNESCO list?

Go on a road trip up north to visit the Santa Maria Church in Ilocos Sur and
the Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte. The Miagao Church in Iloilo might take you off course.

the oldest Hispanic
stone fortress is in
Manila?

history as it served so many
purposes - it was a storage for
war ammunitions, and its
dungeons were turned into
cells for political prisoners.

Philippines, Jose Rizal, was
detained in Fort Santiago
before his public execution.
