Album Info:

PUERTA DEL PARIAN AND REVELLIN DEL PARIAN - Named after the Parian de Arroceros across the city where Chinese merchants lived. Built in 1593. One of the earliest entrances to Intramuros. Became official entrance of the Governor-General in 1764, after following destruction of Puerta Real during the British invasion. Ravelin built in 1603 following Chinese uprising. Used as defense line between the curtain walls of Baluarte de San Andres and the Parian Gate. Vaulted chambers built in 1739 to house soldier and military supplies. Entire defense work completed in 1782. Gate and ravelin severely damaged in 1945. Restoration began in 1967 and completed in 1982. ~~~Taken from this location's signage
