Last updated: 18 OCTOBER 2021
Finally, after so lots of months of being closed to the public because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fort Santiago has been reopened.
Fort Santiago is one of the most common destinations for educational excursions or field trips. I have scoured the nooks and crannies of Fort Santiago a few times already, once doing a photo walk for my photography class back in college.
Spearheaded by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, it was constructed in the early 1590s as a fortress for the then flourishing city of Manila. It faced lots of destructions and reconstructions, but some structures remain strong throughout the centuries.
The fort is recognized as a national cultural Treasure in 2014 and a national Shrine and national Monument in 1951. The dungeons and the museum are just two of the lots of attractions you’ll see inside the historical fort.
Here are some valuable bits of info that you might want to know before you go during the new normal.

Wanneer is de beste tijd om te bezoeken?
Weekends and holidays are expected to be much a lot more crowded than weekdays. If these are the only practical dates for you, just go there early.
Based on my previous visits, both weekends and weekdays, “crowded” looked like weekday foot traffic of other popular vacationer attractions in Manila.

Fort Santiago is located in Intramuros in the city of Manila.
If you take the LRT 1, you can get off at any of these three stations: central Station, Carriedo Station, or Doroteo Jose Station. The main entrance to Fort Santiago is through Plaza Moriones at Sta. Clara street corner general Luna Street.
If you get off at central Station, you can reach Intramuros on foot. Your landmark is the Manila City Hall. cross tothe other side using the underpass. Ask around how to get to Plaza Moriones.
