For hundreds of years, the walled city of Intramuros was Manila: the nerve center of the Spanish occupation in the Philippines, home to several thousand Spanish colonists, their families, and their Filipino servants. Intramuros was erected on the ruins of a Malay settlement at the mouth of the Pasig River. Its strategic location attracted the attention of the conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, who took over the area in 1571 and proclaimed it as the Philippine colony's new capital. For 400 years, Intramuros was the center of Spanish political, religious, and military power in the region. (Read about churches in the Philippines.) The walled city suffered grievously through World War II; only San Agustin Church was left standing by war's end.
