Plaza Roma

USEFUL. 🚲

This is as useful as it is historic. Almost overshadowed by the majestic Manila Cathedral both literal and figurative, this plaza is almost unknown to most if they won't be deliberate in knowing this place.

But the benches in front of the church speak of the plaza as an integral part of the Walled City.

Useful because:
+ Bike racks!
+ Benches in front of the church
+ This is also where the popular public book spot is, where you can donate one and get one.

Very Filipino, very vibrant. We were there on a Sunday late afternoon. The cathedral's facade facing the plaza was glowing with the sunset's hue. Small stalls selling organic food, local crafts and souvenirs line up on one side while a busy crowd (a mixture of churchgoers, wedding entourage, tourists, and peddlers) is entertained by a group of street performers.

This place is busy at weekend specially in sunday night. If you have a plan to visit here please make sure you have foods to bring. Theres no cheap food or stall here except for fast food like kfc chowking ministop, but take note its always crowded and full specially KFC

Great place to visit EARLY morning for reflection and personal connection with our creator. Then you have a small park for the kids.

Took part in the Intramuros Night Tour and relearned about the history of the hometown along with interesting paranormal stories by the tour guide, Kuya Butch.

Beautiful old style cathedral. I am slightly biased as it was one of the first places I visited as a tourist but is I magnificent work of art. The park outside is small and a bit noisy but has an ambiance nevertheless. Many places to eat very nearby also

Very nice place next to the Cathedral of Manila.
There is also an art installment showing the regions of the Philippines.
Take a look !

"Plaza Roma in Manila, a timeless sanctuary where history whispers its tales, and the beauty of a nation's vibrant culture resides."

Even though it is closed to the public you can just simply sit by the park and say your prayer.you will still feel the solemnity and feel like your talking to God .

Feast day of Sto. Niño. Viva!

Plaza/garden facing the impressive facade of Manila cathedral - is very well maintained, provide the free touch to the otherwise grey surrounding.

A nice place you can spend your time. There's a lot of Street food you can indulge yourself with such as ice creams and the like.

Its presence alone, can mesmerised how grand was intramuros to our culture.

Grass are green.... people are enjoying their spare time with friends seating in the grass and and relax.... with the view of Manila Cathedral.. just nice place to stay awhile❤

First time experience.. to attend... I guess the Holy Spirit of Mother Mary is present in the event..at first you can smell the incense inside and out the church, way of cleansing..But most amazing, is when you go out.. the entire place of intramuros.. smell so good! I can describe it like an expensive poupori, flowers, aromatherapy etc. Very relaxing like your'e in expensive spa. 😀 because I been there every now and then in place but It doesn't smell that good.

Beautiful park right in front of the manila cathedral. Small park well maintained. Historical park.

Very nice place to stroll to with the family.

bring old books and there is a book stand for the public to use and donate

For a leisure walk, this is a decent place.

There's an eco market on Sundays where you can find earth friendly and locally made products
