Malate, Residential district in Manila, Philippines
Malate extends along the southern shore of Manila Bay, forming a central area with numerous hotels, embassies, and residential buildings.
The district's name originates from the Tagalog word 'maalat', meaning salty, referring to the brackish waters where the river meets Manila Bay.
The San Miguel de Malate Church, constructed in the late 16th century, stands as a primary religious and architectural landmark within the district.
The district connects to major transportation routes including Roxas Boulevard, Quirino Avenue, and Taft Avenue, providing access across Manila.
The Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, established as the Philippines' first sports stadium, occupies a substantial portion of the district.

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.
