Fort Santiago was built as a defense structure to protect the Spanish colonial city of Manila from potential invasions, particularly from foreign powers and pirates. Constructed in the late 16th century, it served as the military headquarters and played a crucial role in the Spanish colonial administration. The fort's strategic location along the Pasig River allowed for surveillance and control over naval traffic, making it essential for safeguarding the city and its inhabitants. Additionally, Fort Santiago is historically significant as a site of imprisonment for national heroes, including José Rizal.
