Magellan's Cross

One of the historical places in Cebu,located just beside one of the oldest church as well, Sto.Nino Cebu

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!

This is a historical place in the Philippines. It is where the Christianity in the Philippines were brought for the first time. The original cross is inside this big cross in the picture. They did it for protection and to preserve it as well. There will be ladies there who. Would offer to pray for you for only $2. They will pray in front of you in their own language. All you have to do os give your name and they will pray in like a singing manner. It is quite entertaining. It is a must visit in Cebu especially if you are into history and religion.
