PUERTA REAL – ROYAL GATEWAY<\/p>\n

PUERTA REAL FORMERLY ENFILATED PLAZA MAYOR AND OPENED AT THE SOUTH END OF WHAT USED TO BE CALLE PALACIO, NOW GENERAL LUNA STREET, THROUGH IT SPANISH GOVERNORS AND ARCHBISHOPS MADE THEIR OFFICIAL ENTRY INTO THE CITY. IN THE GUARDHOUSE, OVER PUERTA REAL, ONE HUNDRED SPANIARDS AND FILIPINOS WHO. WOULD NOT SURRENDER TO THE INVADING BRITISH, WERE PUT TO THE SWORD IN 1762. FOR MILITARY REASONS THE GATE WAS TRANSFERRED IN 1780 BY GOVERNOR JOSE BASCO Y VARGAS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE CURTAINS BETWEEN THE BASTIONS OF SAN DIEGO AND SAN ANDRES. PRIOR TO 1852 THE GATE WAS CLOSED AND THE CITY WAS UNDER SENTINELS FROM 11:00 P.M. TO 4:00 A.M. ON ACCOUNT OF THE EARTHQUAKE OF 1852 IT WAS DECREED THAT THE GATES SHOULD THENCEFORTH REMAIN OPEN DAY AND NIGHT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"registry_category":[],"level_status":[],"labels":[4452,4423,4453,4426,4427,6779,4429,4458],"class_list":["post-167688","historical-sites","type-historical-sites","status-publish","hentry","labels-intramuros","labels-level-ii","labels-manila","labels-metro-manila","labels-no-photo-available","labels-puerta-real-royal-gateway","labels-region-ncr","labels-undated-historical-markers","no-margin"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPuerta Real -
