Fort Santiago

#manilaguide
If you're in Manila, you definitely have to check out Fort Santiago! This old fortress has a strong Spanish colonial vibe and is super photogenic. Walking on the cobblestone paths feels like stepping back in time, and seeing where José Rizal was imprisoned is quite powerful. I recommend going in the afternoon—the lighting is perfect for photos. The place isn’t too big, so an hour is enough to explore. Entrance is cheap too.
