The experience was a great way to get to know the city and its history. From its beginnings as a river settlement up to the arrival of the Spanish Colonisers. The architecture and the sights within the walled city is so different from the highly urbanised metropolis of Metro Manila. Its a definite trip down memory lane that started with a replica of an Old Filipino House. The visit to the oldest stone church that's also a UNESCO World Heritage site was the highlight of the trip. We can't help but marvel at the church interiors and the vast collection of religious art. The visit to the Military Fort gave us a glimpse hen the entire walled city was still surrounded with water. We were introduced to the National Hero and was able to trace his last steps to his execution.
