Compact, spade-shaped 16th‑/17th‑century bastion with concentric stone walls, manicured gardens and a bonsai display — ideal for textures, architectural detail, and quiet portrait/backdrop shots. Visit early weekday mornings for soft light and few people, or late afternoon golden hour for warm stone tones. Small site with an entrance fee (~₱75 adults); limited on-site parking so use Intramuros lots or walk from nearby Rizal Park. Respect signage and quiet garden areas; staff are helpful for info
