I didn’t expect to come Casa Manila✨
At that moment, the rain was still falling but we waited at the restaurant called “Cafe Intramuros” until the rain stopped and we walked inside the Casa Manila.
We went there by Grab Taxi. It was smooth trip from Hotel 101 that we booked and stayed.
It was unexpected beautiful place I’ve ever seen. We love it. We felt the taste of Philippine. We can’t wait to visit there again. 💚💚💚#Philippine #Casa manila

I Time Traveled in Manila 🇵🇭
#timetotravel
Casa Manila will give you a glimpse of how the artistrocrats lived during the Spanish colonization in the Philippines. The facade of Xasa Manila automatically makes you feel like you are taken back to the past and once you enter the house you'd be fully immersed in it. Very educational and informative visit as you see a lot of antique furniture and artifacts that were once used by the affluent family living here. A must visit while you are in Manila.
Entrance Fee: 75
Address: Plaza sans luis complex, General Luna St, Intramuros, Manila.

Vintage Manila
If you are looking to experience the real Manila, Casa Manila is the place to go. This is the good start and end point when roaming around the old Manila which includes Intramuros, Fort Santiago and the démodé historic churches. Everywhere in sepia mode. #wheninmanila #historical #mytripvlog

Timeless Beauty in Manila’s Walled City
Casa de Manila is a beautifully reconstructed Spanish colonial house that gives a glimpse into Manila’s past. I loved its history, architecture, and the stories behind it. The design blends European and Filipino styles, making it a must-see for history lovers. If you’re looking to escape Manila’s heat and humidity, visiting around midday is a great idea!
Top tip: Hire a guide or read up on its history before your visit to fully appreciate the details and stories behind the house.

Journey to Manila
Casa Manila - Manila's own King's Landing😂|||☀️I think Casa Manila should be the most popular attraction for young people in the entire royal city area. Compared to other cathedrals and ruins, the style here has a more historical and modern blend, and it is also the place where the most little brothers and sisters in the entire royal city area take photos and check in.
☀️Secondly, what sets it apart from other attractions is that the entire plot is a courtyard structure, with a better sense of enclosure, naturally shielding the conflict brought about by the local residents' well life in the royal city area, making it easier for you to feel the winding path and the desire to suppress first when browsing inside. Layered experience.
☀️The main tour spot here is the Casa Manila Museum located at the exit, which is a museum located in Manila. The architectural style is inspired by the late 18th and early 19th century Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. Its architectural style fully reflects the luxury and unique design of the Spanish Philippines. The external environment of the museum is designed as if it is a time tunnel, bringing tourists into the unique history of the Spanish Philippines. The courtyard layout follows the courtyard design concept at the time, combining gardens, fountains and traditional stone paths to create a quiet and charming environment.
☀️The architectural details of Casa Manila show the typical features of early 19th century Spanish colonial architecture in the Philippines, including exquisite wood carvings, stone walls and red tile roofs. The materials used inside the building, such as hardwood floors and gorgeous plaster decorations, all highlight the exquisite craftsmanship of the era.
☀️As for the indoor display, it brings together the furniture, art and daily necessities of the wealthy class at the time. Visitors can see the lifestyle of the upper class in the Philippines in the 19th century here, from the bedroom to the living room, every place seems to restore the life scene at that time.

Casa Manila Philippines
I visited the Old Town in the Philippines which had many historic sites. Casa Manila tour was relatively cheap, approximately 75 PSP if I remember correctly. There are many beautiful places to take photos. Just photos though, no videos allowed.#philippines

CASA MANIL
CASA MANILA ✨
If Cebu City has a Casa Gorordo, Manila has its own version of it as well. The same as Casa Gorordo, Casa Manila is also an ancestral house, turned into a museum. It features all the preserved building, as well as, the old furnitures and antiques of the house. Bringing you back to the Spanish colonization period of the Philippines, it exudes the ambiance of the 1800s.
