Churches
Intramuros, the “city within walls,”
has two of Manila’s centuries-old churches
- San Agustin Church and The Manila Cathedral.
Did
you know?
Intramuros was once a
Chinese settlement before the
Spaniards widened the perimeters
and enclosed the city in walls.
Outside of the walled city, Malate Church
is considered to be one of the oldest churches
and is famous for its Moslem-baroque architecture.
The famed Quiapo Church is home to the centuries-old,
miraculous image of the Black Nazarene.
On the other hand, The San Sebastian Church
along Plaza del Carmen is known for being
the first all-steel church in the Philippines
and in Asia; and the second in the world.
You may also opt for San Beda Church or
San Miguel Church located along University
Belt area.
