Paco, Administrative district in central Manila, Philippines

The 2.79 square kilometer district combines residential neighborhoods with commercial areas, crossed by Estero de Paco and Estero de Concordia waterways.

Spanish Franciscan missionaries established this settlement in 1580 under the name Dilao, derived from the Tagalog word for yellow due to Amaryllis plants.

The San Fernando de Dilao Church, Sikh Temple, and Hindu Temple on Looban Street represent the religious diversity within this Manila district.

The Philippine National Railways station and multiple jeepney routes provide transportation connections to other parts of Manila through the district.

Paco Park, a former municipal cemetery built in circular form, contained the remains of José Rizal before their transfer to Luneta Park.
