intramuros area & beyond...

 

had a chance to biked again inside intramuros (and beyond) area. and as usual, can't help myself getting some photos that caught my interests...


and here they were;

"muralla"


"cuartel de santa lucia"

"a cruceiro"

"queen isabella II"

"puerta de isabel II"

"puerta de isabel II"

as searched from the internet;

Puerta de Isabel II[edit]

The last gate to be built in Intramuros was opened in 1861 as a solution to the heavy pedestrian traffic outside Parian Gate to the Puente de Espana (Bridge of Spain) and Binondo. Located in front of it is the Queen Isabel II statue honoring the then reigning Spanish monarch. The gate became part of the route of the tranvía (streetcar) that started in 19th century Manila. It was damaged during the Battle of Manila in 1945 and restored in 1966.


wanted to capture more but some interesting place/s were crowded, or already had someone/group that's occupying the area. well, it's a sunday, that's why...


instead, opted to look for other place/s within the vicinity...

"anda circle"


"at quezon bridge"

"liwasang bonifacio" infront of "manila central post office"

"at jones bridge"

"at jones bridge"



"gate 1 of malacañan palace"
