    Yes, Intramuros is very historical. It was there where Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippines national hero was incarcerated before he was shot in Luneta. It was there where he wrote the famous poem "Mi Ultimo Adios" (My Last Farewell). In the Second World war, during the battle of Manila, it was in Intramuros where the Japanese made their last stand against the Americans.

      @@piacash5216 Yes they did. The Filipinos did not invite them to come. The Philippines was fighting the Spaniards for independence, and the Spaniards was about to lose to the Filipinos when the Americans came. The Spaniards did not want to surrender to the Filipinos, instead they surrendered to the Americans. That 20 million dollars was just a face-saving act. What followed later was the Filipino-American war. That war cost the lives of so many Filipinos, with estimates ranging from 300,000 to over a million people killed by the Americans.
