Magellan's Cross

Top 2 in Can't Miss Attractions

This is a landmark building in Cebu, and it is a must. It was erected by Magellan to spread Catholicism. In fact, there is a certain number in the sky, Magellan will end his life here, but the history of this city is related to him. The Church of the Holy Child and Magellan’s Cross are together. They are all free attractions and are very popular.

Magellan’s Cross is a famous attraction in Cebu City. Near the Church of the Holy Child in Cebu, Magellan’s circumnavigation was brought to Cebu City. It also occupied the symbol of Cebu. Since then, colonial rule has begun.

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.

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!

this is my firts time to magellans cross.im enjoy very mch.and ilove it

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.

Beautiful place near the Santo Niño church. Visit this place if interested in history and religion. There is in a very popular area so expect crowds and noises everywhere around the place. You can get there by bus or taxi.
