Anda Monument, Spanish colonial monument in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
The obelisk monument stands at a roundabout between Intramuros and Port Area, featuring a star at its peak and surrounded by a fountain pool.
Governor-General Carlos Maria de la Torre ordered the construction of this monument in 1871 near Pasig River to honor Simon de Anda y Salazar's resistance.
The monument represents the complex relationship between Spanish colonial administration and Philippine governance during the British occupation of Manila in 1762.
The monument circle includes 222 LED lamps that illuminate the water features in various colors, creating visibility for drivers navigating the roundabout at night.
During World War II, the monument suffered extensive damage and was subsequently relocated from its original position near Pasig River to its current location.
