River access

stairs through the wall of Fort Santiago to Pasig River
A tunnel and stairs provide access from the top of the thick walls of Fort Santiago to the banks of the Pasig River. They would have been convenient for the soldiers of the Spanish colonial era. Nowadays, a locked gate keeps trespassers out of the historic fortification.

    A fun historic discovery! I guess kids like to fool around there?

    I wonder if this way into the fort was gated during the colonial era.
