Casa Manila in Manila helps one understand the way of life in the 19th century.
The Manila history reveals that Spanish had ruled for more than three centuries
and have left a deep impact on the way of life of the local population. The local
populace in good numbers had adopted the Spanish way of life that is now reflected
in religion architecture, food etc.
In Casa Manila one would be taken back to a 19th century Manila residence where
the endeavor is to let know the then culture. Each room here is preserved to
represent the style of a particular 19th century Manila residence. Here one
would find the antique furniture, chandeliers, lamps, paintings, vases and bric-a-brac.
In the Casa Manila of Manila one can walk down the adobe staircase, old well,
the courtyard and fountain. This also reflects the unique style of architecture
and furniture that blends the Spanish and the Asian styles. This colonial period
house is in the heart of the Intramuros that is the walled city and was once
set up by the Spanish rulers.
Those interested to know the old way of life the Casa Manila Museum is an excellent
setting. This three-storey house is a faithfully restored Spanish colonial house
that also offers an insight to the opulent lifestyle of the gentry of the 19th
century. The visit to the Casa Manila would be a time to step back into the
past that is in contrast to the fast pace of the city life.
The Casa Manila Museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday; 9 am - 12 pm, 1 pm -
6 pm.
