PLAZUELA DE SANTA ISABEL
This was made part of the Colegio de Santa Isabel for lack of an open
space, a standard feature in Spanish buildings. Beside the plaza along
Anda St. , was a place called SAMPALUCAN, a vacant lot occupied by
indigents of the city. Sometime in the 18th century, it was
incorporated to enlarge the plazuela.
The
area was cleaned and restored in 1983. In 1995, the Memorare Manila
1945, a group of civilian survivors of the Battle of Manila, erected a
monument in memory of the war dead.
