...drab or not?...
This shot was taken in Intramuros, along Arzobispo near Beaterio street.
This must be an old structure of some sort, all that's left are the exterior walls on it, even the branching out of the tree on the left looks aged already,
what used to be something grand, now looks hollow and plain.
I tried searching it on the web but couldn't find anything related to it.
Obviously, the place looks abandoned and vacant, it's best not to visit during
night time. (if you know what i mean...^0^)
added info: thanks to Hilda! ~ This is the Arzobispo side of the Jesuit San Ignacio Church ruins. The first Ateneo campus was across it, where the clamshell is now. I have a couple of posts about these same ruins but my photos were from the Sta. Lucia side. ;)
The church was burned by the Japanese at the end of the war. And since it was mostly wood, nothing remained of it except the exterior walls. The Intramuros Museum will build an ecclesiastical museum on the lot and I think they're going to incorporate the old walls in the design.
Not drab, but fab! That's an amazing tree! That building has a lot of history and character!
ReplyDeleteYay! am imagining ghosts and the not ghosts out there...but it makes for a great post and a wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteI really really like it. I bet if these walls could talk, they be coming out with a best seller.
ReplyDeleteLike afv am imagining ghosts out there ( kung gabi ako pupunta dyan). Pero sissy malamang kapag umaga dami kang makikita sa loob nyan..kakatakot nga lang.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Amazingly, I actually know what it is. This is the Arzobispo side of the Jesuit San Ignacio Church ruins. The first Ateneo campus was across it, where the clamshell is now. I have a couple of posts about these same ruins but my photos were from the Sta. Lucia side. ;)

ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful! Something about they way the light is streaming through that window is very pleasing, as well as the gated entrance.
