'''Glorietta''' ({{IPA|tl|gloɾˈjɛtɐ, gloɾˈjɛta|lang}}; stylized in [[all lowercase]]), also known as '''Ayala Malls Glorietta''' and formerly known as '''Quad''', is a [[shopping mall]] complex in the [[Ayala Center]], [[Makati]], [[Metro Manila]], [[Philippines]]. The mall is owned by [[Ayala Land]] and operated through its subsidiary, the [[Ayala Malls]]. The mall is divided into five sections (named Glorietta 1 to 5) and contains many shops and restaurants, as well as cinemas, gyms, arcades and two central activity centers. Visitors have described the mall as [[maze]]-like, due to the complexity of its interior layout.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.philstar.com/lifestyle/on-the-radar/2024/05/15/2355326/unhinged-french-woman-gets-lost-glorietta-maze|title='Unhinged': French woman gets lost in Glorietta 'maze'|first=Kristofer|last=Purnell|date=May 15, 2024|accessdate=July 13, 2024|work=The Philippine Star}}</ref>

Glorietta 1 to 4 is integrated with the nearby [[Greenbelt (Ayala Center)|Greenbelt]], [[SM Retail|SM]] Makati, [[Rustan's]] Makati, and [[Landmark (department store)|The Landmark]]. Glorietta 5 is detached, located on the former site of an open parking area between Hotel [[InterContinental Manila]] (later replaced by [[One Ayala]]) and Rustan's Makati.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Savills|first=K.

==Name==
The mall got its name from the [[Spanish language|Spanish]] word ''glorietta'', which used to describe the public meeting place in [[History of the Philippines (1565–1898)|Spanish colonial-era]] designed towns throughout the Philippines; the spelling with double "t" reflects the [[old Spanish language|Old Spanish alphabet]]. 

Until 1997, the mall was previously named Quad, a name that was also borne by The Quad, which contained four cinemas that would be integrated into it. The name ''quad'' is a [[Latin language|Latin]] word for four, coincidentally the mall's original number of divisions.

==History==
Glorietta was originally a park centrally located in the Makati Commercial Center complex. The Glorietta park, with its outdoor stage, was built in the 1970s. It was landscaped by [[Ildefonso P. Santos Jr.]], a [[National Artist of the Philippines|National Artist]] for Architecture who was also credited for designing the entire complex.<ref name="tatler">{{cite web|title=Tatler Time Capsule: The Ayala Center|date=October 28, 2020|accessdate=July 7, 2022|website=Tatler Asia|url=https://www.tatlerasia.com/the-scene/people-parties/thanks-for-the-memory|first=Chit|last=Lijauco}}</ref> It was then surrounded by small shopping arcades, The Quad theater, and the Makati Supermart.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theurbanroamer.com/ayala-center-story-part-1-makati-commercial-center/|title=The Ayala Center Story: Part 1 – The Makati Commercial Center|date=November 2, 2020|accessdate=December 6, 2022|website=The Urban Roamer}}</ref><ref>{{cite AV media |author=evancortez2 |date=November 14, 2007 |title=Glorietta Mall, Makati in 1991 |trans-title= |type= |language= |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHCrjoIVsI8 |access-date=June 12, 2023 |format= |time= |location= |publisher= |id= |isbn= |oclc= |quote= }}</ref>

In 1990, Ayala decided to redevelop Makati Commercial Center, then branded ''The Center Makati'', into a new development named the [[Ayala Center]]. The plan called for the redevelopment of the Glorietta park and the surrounding shopping arcades into a single shopping mall. Makati Commercial Center and the nearby [[Greenbelt (Ayala Center)|Greenbelt]] complex were later merged to become Ayala Center in 1991.<ref>{{cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPcdwRiXK6g |access-date=August 7, 2024 |title=Ayala Center TVC (1990)}}</ref>

===As Glorietta===
{{stack|float=right|[[File:Glorietta complex.jpg|thumb|left|Glorietta Building complex in 2008]]}}
The new Glorietta mall opened in 1991 with a gross leasable area of {{convert|250,000|sqm|abbr=on}}, envisioned as one of the largest malls in the Philippines. The mall was divided into four sections:
* Quad 1 - which retained the original four Quad cinemas until 2009;
* Quad 2 - which had an indoor theme park named Glico's Great Adventure, a shopping arcade named Goldcrest,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spot.ph/newsfeatures/the-latest-news-features/58562/10-90s-childhood-hangouts-that-we-miss|title=10 '90s Childhood Hangouts That We Miss|first=Mika|last=Sarmiento|date=February 12, 2015|accessdate=May 3, 2022}}</ref> and was soon to become the main setting for a [[2007 Glorietta explosion|deadly explosion]] in 2007;
* Quad 3 - which would soon be the home of international restaurants like [[Hard Rock Cafe]] and [[TGI Friday's]]; 
* Glorietta 4 - a new hub for entertainment with a [[Timezone (video arcades)|Timezone]] branch and seven additional cinemas, and also the home of Oakwood Premier (now [[The Ascott Limited|Ascott]] Makati), a premier hotel that stood on top of the mall.

All four components were home to a variety of shops and restaurants. Quad 1 and 2 opened in 1991 after renovation was completed in 1990, while Quad 3 opened in 1992 and was completed in 1993. Glorietta 4 opened in 1998, the same year as Oakwood Premier, whose construction caused delays, and was completed in 1999.<ref name="ulicasestudy" /> Quad 1, 2 and 3 would later be renamed Glorietta 1, 2 and 3, respectively.<ref name="tatler" /> Those were divided by walkways radiating from the activity center to their namesake major roads (clockwise from north): [[Ayala Avenue|Ayala]] Mall, [[EDSA]] Mall, [[Antonio Arnaiz Avenue|Pasay]] Mall, and [[Makati Avenue|Makati]] Mall.<ref>{{cite map |author = |title =  Citiatlas Metro Manila |trans-title = |map = |map-url = |date = |year = 2003 |url =  https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/6064054 |scale =  1:10,000 |series = |publisher = Asiatype |cartography = |page = |pages = |section = |sections = |inset = |edition = |location = [[Mandaluyong|Mandaluyong City]], Philippines|language = |format = |isbn = |id = |access-date = }}</ref>

[[File:Glorietta.jpg|thumb|A shot of the activity center (atrium) during an electronics event in 2007]]
Tenants that set up shop in Ayala Center prior to Glorietta's development, most notably [[Mercury Drug]], [[Automatic Centre]], [[Jollibee]], [[Max's Restaurant|Max's]], and [[McDonald's Philippines|McDonald's]], also found a home in Glorietta. The department stores surrounding the mall – SM Makati, The Landmark, and Rustan's – were utilized by Glorietta as its anchor tenants for its supermarkets and department stores.<ref name="ulicasestudy" />

In the mid-1990s, Glorietta emerged as a premier mall, boasting an air-conditioned atrium, children's playground, and activity center.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} The mall transitioned to its present name from "Quad" in 1997 and underwent expansions from 1999 to 2005.

==Incidents and accidents ==
===2000 bombing===
On May 17, 2000, thirteen (13) people were injured in an explosion at Glorietta 2. Police said the blast (by a homemade explosive) originated from a restroom of a restaurant and affected a nearby branch of [[Timezone (video arcades)|Timezone]], as well as the ceiling of the bridge between Glorietta 2 and Park Square 2. Two rival gangs were seen fighting near the restaurant shortly before the blast occurred.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/65115/GMA-News-Research-A-record-of-mall-explosions-in-RP |work=GMA News.TV |title=A record of mall explosions in RP |date=October 19, 2007 |access-date=August 18, 2008|publisher=GMA Network}}</ref>

{{main|Oakwood mutiny}}
[[Magdalo Group|Magdalo]] soldiers led by Lt. Sr. Grade [[Antonio Trillanes IV]] took control of the Oakwood Premier. Glorietta, where the hotel stood, was also closed during the siege.

===2007 explosion (October 19, 2007)===
{{main|2007 Glorietta explosion}}
An explosion in Glorietta 2 killed eleven people and injured a hundred others. Initially, authorities termed it a [[liquefied petroleum gas]] explosion at Luk Yuen Noodle House, but later began investigating the possibility that the explosion may have been a [[C-4 (explosive)|C-4 bomb]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=95665 |work=Inquirer.Net |date=October 20, 2008 |access-date=August 18, 2008|publisher=Agence France-Presse |last=Gutierrez |first=Jason |title=Military explosives may have been used in bomb blast |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080222054008/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=95665 |archive-date=February 22, 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/65209/C-4-bomb-component-used-in-Glorietta-blast---PNP-chemist |work=GMANews.tv |title=C-4 bomb component used in Glorietta blast - PNP chemist |publisher=GMA Network |date=October 20, 2007 |access-date=August 18, 2008}}</ref> The explosion destroyed much of Glorietta 2's main lobby and vehicles parked outside. Several days later, October 23, 2007, senior government officials expressed "a high level of certainty" that the explosion was an accident,<ref>{{cite news |last=Lim Ubac |first=Michael |url=http://www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/gloriettablast/view.php?db=1&article=20071024-96375 |title=Glorietta 2 blast likely an accident -- PNP |work=Inquirer.net |date=October 24, 2007 |access-date=August 18, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110623162833/http://www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/gloriettablast/view.php?db=1&article=20071024-96375 |archive-date=June 23, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> but the bomb theory has not been totally ruled out. This was brought on by the inability of experts to find bomb components after four days of rigorous investigation. It is believed that the explosion was caused by underground structures in the mall that might have triggered the blast, pending further investigation.

Following the explosion, the mall was temporarily closed, but Glorietta 1, 3, and 4 were reopened on October 25, 2007.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/65829/makati-gov-t-oks-reopening-of-glorietta-1-3-4/story/|title=Makati gov't OKs reopening of Glorietta 1, 3, 4|publisher=GMANews.TV|date=October 25, 2007|accessdate=March 10, 2025}}</ref>
