The Delhi Sultanate ended with the dawn of the Mughal Empire. The new age ushered in different cultural influences: Islamic, Persian, and Turkish! Purana Qila (Old Fort), where the first Emperors ruled from, is studded with red-stone monuments displaying this fusion. Find the intricately decorated Qila-i-Kuhna Mosque (Mosque of Sher Shah), more commonly known as the Grand Mosque. Note the parchin kari, the meticulous art of setting semi-precious stones into hand-chiseled marble that decorate the inner chambers. The art form was first introduced here from the West. Later on, this stunning decoration will be fully realized in the Taj Mahal!

Without having to drive far, Intramuros allows you to enjoy yourself in a rich history hidden behind huge walls and cobblestone street that have been destroyed, preserved, and rebuilt many times. By visiting Bahay Tsinoy, Casa Manila, or the Distileria Limtuaco Museum, the country's oldest distillery, you may find yourself in the tactile traces of diverse cultures that influenced Intramuros, such as American, Spanish, and Chinese.
