Instituto Cervantes

The Instituto Cervantes, created by the Spanish Government in 1991, has over 30 years of experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language, constantly improving and adapting our courses to meet the specific educational needs of institutions, businesses or individuals.

The history of the Instituto Cervantes can be traced back to February 21, 1991, when it was founded in Madrid, Spain.

INSTITUTO CERVANTES LIBRARY

Its establishment was the culmination of efforts by the Spanish government and cultural organizations to address the increasing global demand for Spanish language education and cultural engagement. There is no better place to learn about Manila's rich history. Intramuros in the Philippines is also known as the old Manila. It plays a big role in the heart of every Filipino because it serves as a reminder of the Spanish Era. Aside from learning about the history of the Philippines, the Intramuros tourist spot is also one of the places you want to visit! This walled city is a sanctuary among the iconic and historical areas of the capital built during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines in 1571. And it is also one of the most visited tourist spots in the Philippines.

Many tourists visit Intramuros to understand the past and see the centuries-old institutions because of their old-world appeal.

the walls were built to prevent any possible attack by foreigners because the governor stationed in the Philippines also lives and holds office there. The name, Intramuros derived from the Spanish word meaning "within the walls," refers to the fort near the Pasig River. This walled city of Manila is named after the Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi. As one of the most visited tourist spots in Manila, Intramuros has a lot to offer.

Fort Santiago - BATTLE OF MANILA
The Battle of Manila in 1945 completely leveled Intramuros.

AMERICAN TROOPS

As the occupying Japanese Imperial Army made their last stand against the victorious efforts of Allied soldiers and Filipino guerrillas, heavy artillery bombardment destroyed eight churches, walls, universities, houses, During World War II, Intramuros was used as a garrison and prison facility by the Japanese, but Allied bombings resulted in it, and other parts of Manila, being badly damaged and destroyed.

Today, it is the only district in Manila that has been successful in maintaining its former Spanish-era appearance. The old walls still defend the district, keeping its churches and streets untouched by modern modernization.
