Then & Now - Sta Cruz Estero

October 31, 2008

Estero de la Reina can be found in Calle de la Escolta in Sta Cruz. Other numerous esteros throughout the city are crossed at various points by more than 50 small bridges, most of these having been built since the Spanish colonial period. These are usually made of solid stone and of a substantial nature.

The new buildings around the estero are from the left: the Regina Building; Perez-Samanillo Building; and the Sta Cruz Building. These modern art deco buildings were constructed during the American regime.
