Ermita is a district in central Manila, Philippines. It is a significant center of culture, parks, education and city governance. Ermita serves as Manila's civic center bearing a large portion of the area's employment, business and entertainment activities. Ermita and its neighboring district Malate were posh neighborhoods of Manila's affluent families during the early 20th century, where large, grandiose mansions once stood. The district and its surroundings were heavily bombed and flattened during the Second World War after which it underwent commercialization.
