Tour of Intramuros Part 1 - Queen of Spain - Isabella II Statue

Hi, we're in immigration right now and across the street from the immigration in Tamoros we found this statue of Queen Isabella, Queen of Spain. And I guess Robert wants me to read this. It says monument in honor of Isabella II, Queen Regnant of Spain, 1833 to 1868 designed by first erected in Arroceros in 1860 then dismantled after the glorious revolution in Spain in 1868. Erected at the plaza of the church of Malati 1896 then dismantled again after a typhoon in 1970. Re-erected on site on the occasion of the visit of Juan Carlos, Prince of Asturias in 1975. Monument declared a national cultural treasure in 2016. And she's right there. She takes after our family. How do you say that? Oh my god. Robert. This part of the fort, the walls? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, oh yeah. The second, so that's the door, the door of Isabel. Yeah, it looks like a port. From the war that was something like that. It's in Tamoros. It's either a base, a jail or something. I can't, I don't know. I, sorry, I don't like history and I hate reading. So I can't tell you how much. But anyway, this is the port. Constructed as a solution to the heavy pedestrian at the Parian Gate in 1861 to 1862. Damaged during the season world war, the second world war. Oh my god, it smells like. Oh that's, yeah. There's a plaque. It's too far though. You can't read it? No, I need my glasses. It's even worse. I can't see the camera either. Yeah, okay, it says the door of Isabelito. Names for the Reina. Well, I don't know. I can't really read it. That's all right, show the other side. So this is really a fort and it has a drawn bridge, which I thought was cool. This is, this is the gate. This is how big the gates are. Yeah, that's the gate of, uh, is this where she used to live or something? No, she's been here, but this is the fort. This is cool, you know, it's just old. You see the coat of arms Oh ----, sorry guys, somebody's blind. There you go. That's a pretty awesome door right there. It's only four minutes. It's only four minutes? It's history, you know, but it's pretty cool. Across the city chamber. Did you show the statue, the actual statue of Isabel? Yeah, you know, I can tell that's copper. Oh yeah? Well, it's green. Yeah, it's copper, so just the copper, that's worth a lot. Yeah, they've been transferring, as per that thing that was written over there, they've been transferring it from one place to another. Okay, do we have to look at her butt? I've been thinking of my picture all day, so I've been smiling. Yeah, and they told him not to smile. Give your teeth. You know, it's hard not to smile when they tell you not to smile. Okay, there's some more stuff down there, so we can cut that off. Okay, we're walking towards the Starbucks right now. Over there, the green building is the immigration, the main immigration, and this is across the street. We're just walking. Put your cover of your face. Oh, is that Koya over there? Here's the immigration. I noticed that they were building a bridge. I don't know where Robert is taking me, but I'm just following him. Oh, Berto, I don't think you're supposed to get in. Hey, you take my phone. Here, can you take that? It's recording right now. I don't know if you can see this. They're building a bridge over there, and they're tearing down this old building right here, and hopefully they don't tear this down, so I don't know when this will be built. It's pretty cool, though. That's Manila spelled with a Y. Here's the back side of the cross. All right, I don't know what that is. Oh, that goes up on the wall. Pretty good. He's gonna put us in a bicycle, and we can tour the Intramuros. No, it's up to you. That's still recording, by the way. All right, do you want to say the word? Oh, yeah.
