Intramuros in Manila - Old Town

Prison cell in the old fort.
View across the harbor from the fort in Intramuros.
View from inside of Manila House, and recreation of an old Intramuros building complex. They have a replica of an old home - the whole place was apparently destroyed several times, lastly in WWII - with amazing flooring, wall decoration, furntiure, etc. No photos allowed. But shows how the elites lived in 1850. Pretty swank. But I'll take relative poverty, a nice hot western bath and antibiotics circa 2010, thank you very much.
