Historia
Manila's history dates back to the 10th century when it was a small settlement. It became a significant trading port for the Spanish in the 16th century, leading to its establishment as the capital of the Philippines.
Over the centuries, Manila has endured colonization, war, and natural disasters. The city was heavily bombed during World War II, leading to extensive rebuilding efforts that shaped its modern landscape.
