WEAPONRY OF THE WALLED CITY OF MANILA

INTRAMUROS  CANNONS

Intramuros meaning "within the walls" is a walled city in the central part of Manila which was established during the Spanish era in the Philippines.  In preserving it historical view, Intarmuros Administration still display a variety of  cannons that were used during early wars. This is of coarse to serve as accent to the place because it is already a historical tourist site. 

Some of the cannons that are displayed  in Intamuros are intact in its original location, this cannons are aligned in a wall facing outside like what a defense weaponry should be.

shorter cannon in a wall

There are also cannons that are massive in sizes and looks very heavy. I guest this cannon is made out of Iron but it has showed no signs of oxidation or rust. I may be wrong!

There are also cannons that are retrieved from the sea, this may be the cannons that are installed in warships. 

There are also hand cannons that are smaller than the other cannons were shown here, it looks not so heavy but it is still made out of metal. It looks portable, however this is just a collectors item and it is being sold, see the price tag on it?

This is an image of a Guardia sibil (civil guard) that have been guarding the Walled city of Intramuros ever since. hahaha

Besides from Spanish era cannons, there is also a different cannon that was built and installed in Intramuros. This cannon is either a weapon of the Americans against the Japanese imperial army or vice versa. I'm pretty sure that this cannon was utilized during the World War II and not during the Spanish era.
