Intramuros Administration renovated the city and at present the walled city is the only district of manila where old Spanish-era influences were retained. Much of the development of present-day Manila occured outside the gates of intramuros minimally touched by modernization. The old moats that surrounded intramuros have been filled up and transformed into a golf course where locals and foreign nationals play the sport.
