Album Info:

BALUARTE DE SAN GABRIEL - Built in 1593, this was the Walled City's most important defense in the north which protected the riverside. For fear of uprisings by the Chinese, its cannons also overlooked the Parian which was then heavily-populated with this group. The bastion underwent renovations beginning in 1729. Reconstructed in 1770 and in 1796. Damaged during the Battle of Manila in 1945, i8t was restored in 1989. ~~~Taken from this location's signage
