(SPOT.ph) Metro Manila's shift to Alert Level 3 means the reopening of more establishments, including cinemas, arcades, and gyms. Intramuros, a popular attraction in Manila that's home to outdoor venues and museums, is also reopening their doors. These Intramuros sites are now welcoming visitors: Casa Manila Museum, iMake History Fortress, and the Dungeons are strictly for vaccinated individuals, while Fort Santiago and Baluarte de San Diego can also accept unvaccinated persons. Only people that are from 18 to 65 years old are allowed in the five spots.

The Dungeons were first used as storage vaults for ammunition and gunpowder; then later, prison cells.
