Intramuros, old spanish part of Manila. 

Intramuros is an old, Spanish-influenced district of Manila. It was the seat of the Spanish colonial administration during the Spanish colonial era. Many buildings testify to this.

During the second world war, Intramuros was almost completely destroyed. The Manila Cathedral was rebuilt right after the war. Other parts of Intramuros have been well restored.
