Two Sherman tanks emerge from Plaza de Espa�a, within Intramuros on 23 February 1945. The church (left) is Santo Domingo Church, which had been bombed during the early Japanese raids in 1941.

Although the sign has gone and the name does not exist in current Manila Street Maps, the small monument to the left pays tribute to King Philip II of Spain. The Bank of the Philippine Islands Building stands where Sto. Domingo Church once stood. This is the corner of Solana and A. Soriano Jr. (formerly Calle Aduana). The Japanese (cars) have once again taken over Intramuros..
