Fort Santiago & National Museum visit

HISTORICAL VISIT

FORT SANTIAGO

Fort Santiago

Fort Santiago (Spanish: Fuerte de Santiago Tagalog: Moog ng Santiago) is a citadel first built by Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi for the new established city of Manila in the Philippines. The defense fortress is part of the structures of the walled city of Manila referred to as Intramuros ("within the walls").

The fort is one of the most important historical sites in Manila. Several lives were lost in its prisons during the Spanish Colonial Period and World War II. José Rizal, the Philippine national hero, was imprisoned here before his execution in 1896. The Rizal Shrine museum displays memorabilia of the hero in their collection and the fort features, embedded onto the ground in bronze, his footsteps representing his final walk from his cell to the location of the actual execution.

HOLY FAMILY

CORONATION OF THE VIRGIN

my most important experience during my visitation in Fort Santiago is the Rizal Shrine.
because all of Rizal`s time line is in there before he was sentence to death. And there he write the last letter for his family.
when i`m going under this activity i feel so blessed because i got to know the story behind the greatness of Rizal life.
when i`m in the site i`m just quietly walking along because i`m so immerse with the scenery.
now that i got to see the sites i`m so happy that i got to go there before it`s too late.

i learned the truth behind the story of Rizal`s life and the things that he do when he was imprisoned and the oracle game he made in Dapitan and i got to see the sculpture that he made and the sea shells that he collected. as a student and as a Filipino it is important to us to know our own history and the history maker.
