I am not a Thomasian, but this is my childhood dream school. I wanted to take either education, law or fine arts in this university before. But despite being a full fledged Lasallian, I made this Minecraft structure as part of Intramuros history, and also part of history of UST.

ABOUT UNIVERSITY OF STO. TOMAS
Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas is the oldest university in Asia founded on April 28, 1611 by Dominican friar Miguel de Benavides (originally named as "Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Santisimo Rosario"). This was originally erected in Intramuros adjacent to Intendencia/Aduana Building and Sto. Domingo Church. The continuing increase in student population in the university prompted the administration to build a new campus in 1927 to transfer the university campus from Intramuros to its present site in Espana, Sampaloc district, which covers a total of 21.5 hectares. The main building served as internment camp and prison to Americans and Filipinos during WWII (and the building was spared from bombings), but the Intramuros campus met its unfortunate fate by leaving the place in ruins after the Liberation of Manila in 1945. Now, UST is one of the prestigious Catholic universities in the Philippines, and on 2011, UST celebrated their 400th anniversary with launching a commemorative banknote from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
