Fort Santiago is a historic citadel located in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines. Built by Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi in the late 16th century, it served as a defensive fortress against foreign invaders. The fort played a significant role during the Spanish colonial period, the American colonial period, and World War II. It also includes the Rizal Shrine, a museum dedicated to the country's national hero, Dr. José Rizal, who was imprisoned there before his execution in 1896.
