FORT SANTIAGO, INTRAMUROS, MANILA
Fort Santiago is one of the oldest fortifications in the Philippines built on 1571 on the destroyed kingdom of Rajah Sulayman, the Islamic Kingdom of Maynilad at the bank of Pasig River. The design was based on the forts in the Ancient Europe during the 16th century. It was named after St. James the Moor-slayer, known by the Spanish as Santiago Matamoros.
This place served as prison for one of the Philippines' National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal and served as battle ground for Filipino, American and Japanese forces during World War 2. Now, the shrine is currently maintained by Intramuros Administration where the Rizal Shrine, Tanghalang Rajah Sulayman, and the LEGO Display is currently located.

In this version, I will combine the ancient and modern look of Fort Santiago to "feel" the nostalgic presence of Manila.
