Cuartel de Santa Lucia, Military ruins in Intramuros, Philippines.
The stone walls of Cuartel de Santa Lucia extend across a section of Intramuros, featuring architectural elements from Spanish colonial military design.
Construction of the barracks began in 1781 under architect Tomas Sanz during the governorship of José Basco y Vargas to house the Mountain Artillery forces.
The National Historical Institute placed a marker at the site in 1990 to document its transformation from Spanish barracks to Philippine Officers School.
Visitors can reach the ruins by following Santa Lucia Street through Intramuros, connecting to multiple historical landmarks in the district.
The structure transformed into a military education center in 1905, teaching newly appointed officers law, Spanish language, and constabulary administration.
