Lonely Planet review

In 1905, Daniel Burnham, the master planner of Chicago, was hired to produce a master plan for Manila. Intramuros and the surrounding districts were busy with business and entertainment and the streets were lined with grand structures, many reflecting the best of Art Deco design.

WWII changed everything; One of the few survivors of Burnham's plan is the Metropolitan Theater. It's now in a state of disrepair but is still a stunning piece of Art Deco architecture.
