Manila is the present capital of the Philippines. It is the second largest city in the country, after Quezon City. Manila succeeded Quezon City as the capital in 1976.
The Philippines comprises over 7000 islands. Manila is situated on the largest of these, Luzon. The roots of the city can be traced back to the 17th century when it was a Muslim settlement that became the colonial seat of power for the ruling Spaniards. Spain controlled the Philippines for over three hundred years. They were overthrown by the Americans and Manila was controlled by them until after the end of the Second World War.
Modern Manila is a thriving international capital with rail, air and sea links to neighbouring countries and global destinations.
