Album Info:

BALUARTE DE SAN ANDRES - Built in 1603, this was designed to protect the old Real Gate on its right flank and reinforce the southeastern part of Intramuros. It was reconstructed in 1733 with the addition of a bomb-proof arsenal for gunpowder storage, a garita (watch tower) and barracks. Also called Baluarte de San Nicolas or Carranza, this was destroyed during the British seige of Manila in 1762. It was rebuilt and modified after the British occupation. Damaged during the Battle of Manila in 1945, it was restored in 1987. ~~~Taken from this location's signage.
