#579 - Intramuros, the walled city shots for today.
Happy Friday fellow Hiveans. It's the end of work week for most and just my third day tonight. Had a difficulty sleeping the whole day even after taking three melatonin. I was dizzy the whole shift yesterday 😅 but I also had to make sure that vitamins are taken for extra health protection.
Anyways moving on to our photos of the day we went to the walled city last weekend and strolled at Fort Santiago which is inside the walled city. This is the gate going to the stronghold of the port, still standing. The port I believe was erected during the Spanish era during the 1700s.
Beside us is a statue of our national hero Jose Rizal, and not far is an old wall built from mud bricks. That wall is from one of the buildings where our hero was jailed to.
This area is showing another skeleton of an old building where it was also another prison of our national hero.
This building is used as a storage building or granary too. Just look at those stone bricks still able to survive up to now.
Me and my son at the fountain area of the port. But there is no running water so far when we got there. There are different trees abundantly growing within the port as well.
These are some of the plants growing near the fountain and there's a lot of them too. There are not a lot of tourists yet as we were here early around nine in the morning.
This is what they call the White Cross also inside the port and under it was a 600 mass grave that were found during the WW2.
Follow me on my nature travels.
