Casa Manila

Visit the famous Casa Manila — one of Intramuros’ must-see heritage spots in Manila, Philippines. This beautifully restored bahay na bato living museum immerses you in the opulent lifestyle of affluent Filipino families during the late Spanish colonial era. Step inside and wander through three floors of period rooms filled with antique furniture, imported Chinese ceramics, gilded mirrors, carved woodwork, crystal chandeliers, and delicate décor that reflect the cosmopolitan tastes of the 19th-century principalia class. The architecture itself combines stone and wooden elements, wide capiz-shell windows, ventanillas for ventilation, and elegant living spaces that transport you back in time.

San Agustin Church - Immaculate Conception Parish

Visit the famous **San Agustin Church**, the oldest stone church in the Philippines and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the historic walled city of Intramuros, Manila. Built in 1587 and completed in 1607 by Augustinian friars, this architectural masterpiece has survived earthquakes, wars, and centuries of history. Admire its grand Baroque façade, intricately carved wooden doors, and magnificent *trompe-l’oeil* ceiling paintings that create the illusion of three-dimensional arches and domes. Inside, you’ll find ornate chapels, religious artifacts, and the tombs of notable Spanish figures. The adjoining museum displays centuries-old vestments, manuscripts, and sacred art that reveal the deep Catholic heritage of the country. A visit here offers not only spiritual reflection but also a journey through Philippine history, art, and culture in one unforgettable landmark.
