Remedios Circle, also known as the Plaza de la Virgen de los Remedios,[1] Remedios Rotonda,[2] and Rotary Circle,[3] is a traffic circle in Malate, Manila in the Philippines, serving as the intersection between Remedios Street, Jorge Bocobo Street and Adriatico Street. The circle and a traversing street are both named after Nuestra Señora de los Remedios (Our Lady of Remedies), the patroness of the nearby Malate Church,[2] and is one of two major open spaces in Malate, the other being Plaza Rajah Sulayman.
Originally a cemetery in colonial times, the circle is known today for being the center of Manila's nightlife,[4] as well as a popular cruising spot for men who have sex with men.[5]
