N1  - The main entrance to the fort, in ruins. The Battle of Manila in 1945 damaged Intramuros considerably. After two decades of total neglect, President Ferdinand Marcos created the Intramuros Restoration Committee in 1966, a body whose task was to restore, preserve and maintain the walls, gates and bastions of Intramuros and other historical edifices and artifacts therein. In 1973, the duties and functions of the IRC were transferred to the National Historical Institute. (Source: Landmarks of Manila, 1571-1930, Visitacion de la Torre, 1981); print
