Magellan's Cross

It’s not just about the cross... its more about all that history. Standing in that exact same spot is kinda like being a part of an important part of the Philippines’ cultural heritage.

Magellan's Cross is just located outside Basilica Minore de Santo Niño. You need to get inside the structure to see paintings on the ceiling which will tell you about the history on how it was erected. It is said that the original cross has already been covered because many believed that a piece of the original cross can make miracle. You can also read the history of the erection of the Magellan's Cross engraved just below the cross.

One of the famous spot in Cebu just outside the Basilica de Sto. Niño, a grotto-like build where Magellan’s cross was placed.A spot where you can see a lot of people lining up for picture and the candle ladies offering for prayers!Be part of the crowd now!

Nice and most historical place around The city next back door to Sto Niño

The first time I was able to go here was during our educational tour and now, I always go here because I only live nearby. I love the paintings and all. Right next to it is the Sto. Nino Basilica Church where I always light a candle. A very nice place indeed!

Did a self-guided walk through the historical sites in Cebu City. It was great! While the Magellan cross itself is nothing special, it was a nice place to visit before ending the tour at the Fort.... And the Fort is really cool minus the crowds!

wonderful. a must visit place

Magellans's Cross is a very historical site and also sits close to the Church of Santo Nino. The site of the cross has been kept beautifully and the church is quite breath taking! The entrance fee is small and there were many visitors. I recommend experiencing this site because it is also one of the best places to be close to the history of the Philippines.

Magellan's cross was one of the place you have to see.This was very known to Philippine by many .Its very near to the port of cebu that you can walk to go there. Visit and be amazed

Its my dream since high school to visit cebu. Its really worth the money and the time to travel here.From Books to reality. I felt im very blessed that I saw this cross.
