Intramuros gate selfie

Feeling regal as I prepare to enter the 1902 Puerta Real (Royal Gate), in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines. The Puerta Real was first constructed in 1636 as the personal passage of the Spanish Governor-General during state occasions to come to and from the village of Bagumbayan (now Rizal Park) towards Calle Real del Palacio (now General Luna Street) within the walled city of Intramuros.

However the gate was destroyed during the British Invasion of Manila in 1762, and rebuilt in 1780 behind the Revellin Real de Bagumbayan. It was only in 1902

When the Philippines was under American rule, the American engineers reconstructed the Puerta Real at its original location.

During the Battle of Manila of World War II, the Puerta Real was badly damaged. It was only by 1969 was the Puerta Real fully restored.

Intramuros gate selfie

About to make my triumphant entry into the 1741 Puerta de Santiago, in Fuerte de Santiago (Fort Saint James), within the walled city of Intramuros, in Manila. The Puerta de Santiago (SPA: Gate of Saint James), is the main entry point to the Spanish occupation (1565 to 1898) military camp of Fuerte de Santiago (SPA: Fort of Saint James), which was first constructed in 1571. The fort was named after Saint James, the apostle and patron saint of Spain; who is also known as Santiago Matamoros (SPA: Saint James the Moor-slayer) who is evoked as protection against the native Islamic groups that the Spanish colonizers often fought. The belief of Saint James as a protector against the Islamic forces is based on a mythical Battle of Clavijo where the saint miraculously appeared to defeat the Moorish invaders of Spain. Although the event never happened, this was an inspirational myth for the Spanish people who were under Moorish rule from the 8th to 15th centuries. The carved façade of the Puerta de Santiago was built in 1714, which contained a relief of Saint James slaying a Moor at the top to the gate. After its destruction during the war, the relief of the Puerta de Santiago was restored in 1982 by Wilfredo Tadeo Layug (born 1959).

Stop exerting any effort on those who are shutting you out of their lives. Let it be. Some people aren’t meant to stay in your life.
