Casa Manila, History museum in Intramuros, Philippines
Casa Manila spans three levels with stone walls, wooden floors, and large windows fitted with translucent capiz shells throughout the structure.
Built in 1981, this museum replicates a Spanish colonial residence from 1850, originally situated on Calle Jaboneros in the San Nicolas district.
The interior displays traditional furniture, decorative items, and household objects that represent the daily life of wealthy Filipino families during colonial times.
The museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages for visitors to explore the colonial architecture.
The zaguan entrance leads to a granite-paved courtyard with a water fountain, demonstrating the cooling system used in colonial Philippines.

The historical monuments of Manila showcase Spanish colonial architecture and the national history of the Philippines. The city includes 16th-century fortifications like Intramuros and Fort Santiago, Catholic churches such as the neo-Romanesque cathedral and the baroque church of Saint Augustine, urban parks like Rizal Park, and museums depicting local culture. The Chinese district of Binondo and Manila Bay with its seaside promenade complete this architectural heritage.
