Casa Manila Museum

#manilatrip Casa Manila Museum, within the Plaza San Luis Complex in Intramuros, is a beautifully recreated 1850s mansion showcasing the lavish lifestyle of affluent Filipinos during the Spanish colonial era. Spread across three floors, it features period furniture from Europe, China, and the Philippines, including a grand sala with chandeliers, a carved *aparador* wardrobe, and a 19th-century piano. The granite-paved patio with a fountain, capiz shell windows, and quirky elements like a double-seat toilet add character. The zaguan corridor and caballeriza (stables) highlight colonial architecture. **Location**: Plaza San Luis Complex, General Luna cor. Real Sts., Intramuros, Manila, 1002 Metro Manila, Philippines.
