Hittites chiseled the soft tufa stones to carve out this fairytale world into homes, stables, shops, churches, hospitals, etc. Early Christians carved caves and made frescoes of Biblical scenes on the wall of the rock-carved chapels. Some of the frescoes are still incredibly vivid, attesting to the skills and religious fervor of the faithful.

    Mabuhay – welcome to Manila! The metropolis of Manila, widely known as Metro Manila, is the center of business and finance, entertainment, culture, politics, and transportation in the Philippines. Some of the country’s historical tourist spots, dating back all the way from the Spanish era from more than 400 years ago, may also be found in the city. Intramuros, also known as the ‘Walled City,’ is the oldest district and historic center of Manila. This was the original seat of the Spanish government during the time that the Philippines was under the Spanish rule. Fort Santiago, is just a few steps from Intramuros, where the Philippine national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, was held captive before he was executed at Luneta Park. Metro Manila’s social scene is second to none, with shopping malls, dining and entertainment that continue to thrive in and around the city. SM Mall of Asia is considered as Southeast Asia’s third largest mall and Greenhills is famous for a mid- to-upscale bargain center. The gourmand side of Filipinos is evident in the growing number of restaurants that cater to different types of cuisines. Some popular dining venues and nightclubs in the metro include Greenbelt in Makati, Serendra and Bonifacio High Street at The Fort with its many skyscrapers that light up the sky at night.

Alight at the church’s entrance for a brief stop, and walk towards Ongpin, a street visit Chinese style ? arches at its entrance. This narrow street leads to a network of alleys and side streets crammed with small shops, Chinese drugstores, restaurants and residential houses. Binondo’s commercial activity ranges from banks to retail and wholesale shops selling a variety of items, from Chinese curios and delicacies to textiles, jewelries and construction materials. A leisurely walk brings you to numerous gold jewelry shops at the other end of Ongpin, whereupon sits an old Spanish fountain near the entrance to Sta. Cruz Church. Stop briefly at Sta. Cruz Church that was built in 1608 by the Jesuit priests, then move on to Escolta, located a few blocks away. Steep in history, it was once used as a convoy route by the British Navy from 1762 to 1764, and the shopping center of the elite during the Spanish and American regimes. Today, what is left of what was once known as the “Queen of Streets’ are two notable pre-World War II buildings, the Regina Building and the Perez-Samanillo Building.
