The Baluarte de San Diego is a bastion in Intramuros, part of the Spanish colonial fortification in the walled city of Manila in the Philippines. ==History== The existence of the fort started from Governor General Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas who integrated an older fort with ''cortina'' or curtain walls, built from 1591-1594. The bastion is a protruding structure with facing flanks built along the ''cortina''. The purpose of its projection was to ensure a clearer view of the ''cortina'' for the artillery - in order for them to prepare against invaders. The ''bastion'' has two parts; ''face'' (which projected outward) and ''flanks'' (connecting the face and the ''cortina'', or the curtain wall). Several developments were added in the course of time such as addition of semi-circular structures at the base called ''orillons'' or little ears making the ''bastion'' resemble an ''ace-of-spades shape''. Baluarte de San Diego was an ace-of-spades bastion built on the southwestern corner of Intramuros. It underwent several alterations. In 1609, a writing from Antonio de Morga states that the structure was only a tower within a much larger construction of the Fort Nuestra Señora de Guia. Jesuit priest Antonio Sedeño was the commissioned parish priest responsible for the construction of the Fort Nuestra Señora de Guia. Some of the amenities and facilities included within the fort were courtyard, cistern tank (water supply tank), lodging quarters, and workshops. However, the construction of the fort was always interrupted due to arising circumstances, thus, was not finished.〔
