{{Main|Spanish colonial fortifications in the Philippines}}

During the [[Spanish East Indies|Spanish Era]] several forts and outposts were built throughout the archipelago. Most notable is [[Intramuros]], the old [[defensive walls|walled]] city of Manila located along the southern bank of the [[Pasig River]].<ref>Luengo, Pedro. Intramuros: Arquitectura en Manila, 1739–1762. Madrid: Fundacion Universitaria Española, 2012</ref> The historic city was home to centuries-old churches, schools, convents, government buildings and residences, the best collection of Spanish colonial architecture before much of it was destroyed by the bombs of [[World War II]]. Of all the buildings within the 67-acre city, only one building, the San Agustin Church, survived the war.
