Map of Manila from the Carta hydrographica y chronographica de las Yslas Filipinas (Hydrographic and Chronographic Map of the Philippine Islands) of the Library of Congress
The map of Manila pictured above is taken from the Carta hydrographica y chorographica de las Yslas Filipinas (Hydrographic and Chorographic Map of the Philippine Islands) of the Library of Congress. The space labeled as Manila on the map was “Intramuros,” the walled Spanish enclave surrounded by the Pasig River where several churches, monasteries, schools, various government buildings, and the cathedral were located. Also visible are the neighborhoods of Binondoc (present-day Binondo) and the Parian where the Sangleyes lived.
