Manila Map

Manila. It is the capital of the Philippines, a country in Southeast Asia. As a coastal city it is located exactly in the Bay named after it, next to the mouth of the Pasig River.

The history of Manila begins in the 12th century, when a small maritime town settled there. However, back in the 16th century, the Spaniard Miguel López de Legazpi and a companion of his boat came to these lands and conquered them in the name of Philip II.

The island of Luzón was explored in 1570 by Martín de Goiti and Juan de Salcedo, sent by Legazpi, who in 1571 conquered it and named it head of Government of the Philippines. The city remained under his rule for centuries. Because of boundaries and because reaching the Philippines meant passing through Portuguese waters, this colony was quite isolated from its Metropolis, yet a settlement was set up to secure it from rival powers.
