Ermita, Manila

Ermita was founded in the late 16th century. The name was taken from the Spanish word for "hermitage", after the fact that on this site was built a hermitage housing an image of the Virgin Mary known as the Nuestra Señora de Guia (Our Lady of Guidance). The hermitage has since evolved into Ermita Church, which has been rebuilt several times since the early 17th century. the church of Ermita which was founded in 1591 as a small chapel has Nuestra Señora de Guia as its patroness. The saint which was dredged up in a fisherman's net about 400 years ago was installed as the patron saint of Ermita by the Spaniards. 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. Ermiteño was a Spanish-creole that was spoken in Ermita. It is believed to be extinct today. 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.
