Ermita

Several government institutions are housed in Ermita, including the Philippine Supreme Court, the City Hall of Manila, the Philippine Postal Office building, and other offices found along the old government circle designed during the American era by architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham, such as the Department of Tourism and the National Museum of the Filipino People. Rizal Park, the widest open urban public park in the country and location of the monument to the national hero Jose Rizal, is a prominent feature of Ermita. Other sites of interest in Ermita include the United States Embassy, the Quirino Grandstand and the Philippine General Hospital, the country's largest hospital.

A number of educational institutions are also found in Ermita, including the University of the Philippines - Manila campus, Adamson University, Santa Isabel College, the Philippine Normal University, the Technological University of the Philippines, Universidad de Manila (formerly the City College of Manila) and Manila Science High School, which leads the city in offering specialized science and technology oriented curricula for secondary education. The students have turned Robinson's Mall into a bustling shopping center and rendezvous spot along with several other coffee shops and outdoor-type cafes.
