Where history remembers courage, Intramuros continues to tell stories that inspire generations.

At Plaza de Armas in Fort Santiago, visitors stand where Dr. Jose Rizal spent his final days. Today, the plaza remains a meaningful part of the Walled City, connecting us to the stories of sacrifice, courage, and love of country that continue to shape our heritage.

Explore. Experience. Love Intramuros.

IN PHOTOS: Plazuela de Santa Isabel | Memorare-Manila 1945 Monument

As History Month draws to a close, we revisit Plazuela de Santa Isabel, home of the Memorare-Manila 1945 Monument, a solemn memorial honoring the thousands of lives lost during the Battle of Manila in 1945.

Fought from 3 February to 3 March 1945, the Battle of Manila left much of the city devastated. Intramuros suffered extensive destruction, with historic buildings lost and countless civilians and soldiers losing their lives.

Sculpted by Peter de Guzman and unveiled in 1995 on the 50th anniversary of the battle through the efforts of the Memorare-Manila 1945 Foundation, Inc., the monument depicts a grieving mother cradling a lifeless child, surrounded by other victims. It symbolizes the immense suffering and loss endured by the people of Manila during the war.

Intramuros serves as a fitting location for the monument, having witnessed some of the battle’s most intense fighting, destruction, and loss of life.

Today, the plaza serves as a place of remembrance, where the Battle of Manila is commemorated annuallyβ€”a reminder of one of the darkest chapters in Manila’s history.

As we remember the past, may these stories remind us of the value of peace and the importance of preserving history for generations to come.

On this day in 1750, the Colegio de Santa Rosa was established in Intramuros by Mother Paula de la SantΓ­sima Trinidad, a Dominican tertiary from Spain. Originally known as the Beaterio y Casa de EnseΓ±anza, the institution was founded to provide education and Christian formation to young Filipino girls, including orphaned children.

The school was granted royal patronage in 1774 and was later known as Colegio de Sta. Rosa. Its administration passed through different hands over the years, including the Real Audiencia and, later, the Daughters of Charity.

The school endured the earthquakes of 1863 and 1880, after which a larger three-story structure was built. Its building was eventually destroyed during the 1941 bombing of Manila, prompting the school to transfer to Sta. Mesa. Eventually, it returned to Intramuros in 1949 under the administration of the Servants of Saint Joseph, and the Augustinian Recollect Sisters assumed administration in 1981.

The school also holds a special place in Philippine history as the alma mater of Teodora Alonso, mother of Dr. Jose Rizal.

Though no longer operating as an active school in Intramuros today, Colegio de Santa Rosa remains an important part of the Walled City’s rich educational and religious heritage.
