present era. They reflect the range of artistic influences on the country’s culture,
including indigenous forms of the arts, and how these influences have honed the
country’s arts. These arts are divided into two distinct branches, namely, traditional arts
[1] and non-traditional art [2]. Each branch is further divided into various categories with
subcategories.

ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE

No list of the Phillippines’ most beautiful architectural spots would be complete without
mentioning Intramuros.
The historic center and oldest district in Manila, Intramuros, literally meaning “within the walls”
in Latin, is essentially a fortified city surrounded by ancient walls dating back to the 16th
century.

Established as the Spanish capital by conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in the late 1500s,
the walled city is brimming with centuries-old history architecture to admire.

Right in the heart of it all is Fort Santiago Fortress, the historic citadel with picturesque gardens
where national hero, José Rizal, spent his last days.

The Casa Manila Museum depicts what 19th century Manila homes would have looked like
inside and out, while the Manila Cathedral is an example of Romanesque Revival architecture.

Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture lover or merely a curious tourist, Intramuros is a
must-visit.
With one of the longest and most multicultural histories in Asia, the Philippines is
home to some truly unique and inspiring architecture.

SCULPTURE
The monument of Rizal in Rizal Park (Luneta) is considered by many
as the most popular, most visited and most photographed monument
in the Philippines. It housed the remains of Jose Rizal, a Filipino
nationalist, novelist, poet, journalist, ophthalmologist, and a national
hero.
Essentially, the monument is a tribute to the martyrdom of a great
man, who, though wrongly accused, accepted his fate as a glorious
opportunity to offer his life for his sad, beloved country, though the
privilege was not his alone. The blood of many men like him had been
spilled on this killing field, once called Bagumbayan, of our colonial
past—a clearing blind to justice, deaf to the sound of gunfire, its
tongue forcibly cut to silence it from howling at the horrors of
inequity.

There is the monument and there is the park. Although separate

landmarks, they are one in being part of a patriotic landscape—a piece
of earth, a spot on the planet that gives every Filipino a sense of place,
ours and ours alone. In large measure, that sense of place is
embedded in its history and in our soul.
