Let's indulge in a small historical city tour. Inside Intramuros, Manila, one of the interesting places to visit is
Plaza San Luis Complex.
A feel of Spanish era conveyed right upon at the entrance of the complex with the guard in ensemble worn by a
guardia civil during the said era.
Plaza San Luis is named after one of the old barrios of old Intramuros, this is a cultural-cum-commercial complex currently composed of five houses -
Casa Manila, Casa Urdaneta, Casa Blanca, Los Hidalgos and El Hogar Filipino. You would find a museum, a restaurant , a cafe, a hotel, events venue, a souvenir shop inside this villa while being transported to an era of the Illustrado , the privileged class of the 19th century to early 20th century. Enjoy taking a peek of the lifestyle an Illustrado ruled from authentic replicas of the structures during the Spanish colonial era.
