Fort Santiago

Formerly a small wooden fort created by Rajah Sulayman, it became Spain's most important defense during the Hispanic settlement in the Philippines. Sulayman's fort was burned into ashes, and in its place stood Fort Santiago. It is also called "The Shrine of Freedom" because of the many Filipinos killed here during the Spanish and Japanese occupations.
