Upon arriving, the Agra Fort captures attention at once as it rises in red sandstone. The material was popularly used among Agra’s historical spots, with this fort complex as its most massive masterpiece. Agra Fort housed the royal family, notably the Khas Mahal and Jahangir Palace. It was where Babur sent his son Humayun to seize India’s reins. It was where Emperor Shah Jahan spent his last days, imprisoned by his son in his marble prison. The columned pavilion called Diwan-i-Aam (The Hall of Public Audience) served as a court where people from all walks came to the Emperor with their grievances. With the fall of the Mughal era, and the death of Emperor Auringzeb, the fort was seized and fell from its former glory—until modern-day tourism has brought back life within the walls.

In front of the Manila Cathedral, you’ll see the Plaza Roma. During Spanish colonial times, the plaza was the Plaza Mayor of Manila, and was thus considered the center of the city, with bullfights and other public events being held in the plaza until Governor-General Rafael Maria de Aguilar converted it into a garden in 1797. Plaza de Roma is surrounded by three important landmarks of Intramuros: the Manila Cathedral to the south, the Palacio del Gobernador to the west, and the Casas Consistoriales, also known as the Ayuntamiento de Manila, to the east.
