An 1899 photo of Luneta
Park (now Rizal Park) in Manila. It was the promenade of choice during the Spanish
era. The Governor-General with his entourage, the elite and the
masses would come in the afternoons and early evening to get some
fresh air and watch the Spanish military band play. Luneta was also
the place where special events were held, including celebrations,
parades and executions.
