Intramuros Administration, Kärcher partner for restorative cleaning of historic Fort Santiago
Fort Santiago in Intramuros has undergone a restorative cleaning to preserve the cultural heritage site.
The Intramuros Administration (IA) collaborated with German cleaning technology brand Kärcher for the project.
Portions of the reconstructed main gate and the wall façades of Baluartillo de San Miguel and Medio Baluarte de San Francisco will undergo a professional, deep cleaning process.
IA Administrator Atty. Joan Padilla stated that this cleaning is the beginning of a commitment to preserve all built heritage in Intramuros.
She emphasized the importance of preservation as Intramuros is on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage site status.
Padilla added that the project will unveil the "full magnificence" and grandeur of the historical sites within the 454-year old fortress.
She also stated that the walls, although weathered by time and the trials of history, remain a living testament to the country's rich cultural heritage and historical legacy.
