Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Dundeons of Fort Santiago[1] - used to be a storage vault of powder magazine of the Baluarte de Santa Barabara. In 1715, the Spaniards built a new powder magazine on top of this Baluarte which was converted to prison cells and storerooms when Casa del Castellano was built in 1718.
The Notorious Hole of Death -The Hole was a dungeon abandoned for a century. “It was full of rotting water and infested with rats, snakes, and all kinds of vermin.” Having but a small hole for air to enter, everyone packed inside as many as 170 at a time died of asphyxiation overnight. Among those thrown into the Hole was “the brother of Han-Kai, one of the bravest mestizo leaders from Batangas” whose eyes had been plucked out and his feet burned.
