History: Intramuros means "within the walls" in Spanish that's why it is also called as the Ciudad Murada or The Walled City. It is said to be the oldest district and historic core of the municipality of Manila, Philippines. The districts beyond the wall were referred as Extramuros, it means "outside the walls" in Spanish. In the late 16th century, the purpose of these defensive walls was to protect the city from foreign invasions. The original structure of Intramuros was heavily damaged by the during the World War II and renovated in 1951 after being declared as National Historical Monument.
