  Father Jose Burgos (one of the GOMBURZA martyrs) lived in this place for 7 years. A Marker attached on the facade reads (Filipino/Tagalog): "Sa pook na ito nanirahan si Padre Burgos mula noong 1865 hanggang 1872 at nagtrabaho para sa mga pagbabago sa simbahan sa ilalim ng Espanya, naging Kura Paroko ng Parroquia del Sagrario, Fiscal Eclesiastico at pansamantalang canonigo magistral ng Katedral ng Maynila sa Intramuros. Tungkol sa kanya si Kardinal Gonzales, isang kastila, ay nagwika: "Ang Pilipinas ay mangangailangan pa marahil ng isan-daang taon upang magkaroon ng isang anak na may katalinuhang tulad ni P. Jose A. Burgos." Kasama sina Padre Gomes at Zamora, siya ay namatay na isang martir sa Luneta noong Pebrero 17, 1872." - National Historical Institute, 1984 In my translation (English): Father Burgos lived in this place from 1865 to 1872 and worked for the church reformation under the Spanish regime. He became a parish priest of the Parroquia del Sagrario, church tax collector, and temporary Canónigo Magistral (preacher) of the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros. Cardinal Gonzales, a Spaniard, spoke of him: "The Philippines will probably need hundreds of years to have a child as wise as Fr. Jose A. Burgos." Along with two other priests, Father Mariano Gomez and Jacinto Zamora, he died as a martyr in Luneta on February 17, 1872.

  Love the place. Interior looks old but in a good way. It harmonizes the old buildings around Intramuros.
