A must visit central shrine of the Philippines' nation!
A very important site, the Cathedral is a must visit place of contemplation and symbol of the nation's soul. The side Chapels are particularly fine as is the fretwork and window framing.
I loved this 16th Century cathedral which is an architectural marvel (reconstructed many times later due to natural disasters). The location is prominent and is in the Intramuras area close to Fort Sa...
Nice cathedral free entrance, great place for pictures
We took the guided tour at Intramuros and this is one of the stops they make and the cathedral is free to enter, just don't use your flash for pictures.
The Minor Basilica and Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is located in the flourishing Intramuros district of Manilla, and is also called the Manilla Cathedral. The earliest church was established in 1581, and thereafter due to antiphons, earthquakes, and fires from war, it was destroyed numerous times, and reconstructed numerous times. The cathedral that we see now is the result of 6 reconstructions.

At the The Minor Basilica and Metropolitan Cathedral of Manila or just Manila Cathedral. Established in 1571, the Manila Cathedral still hosts daily mass, occasional weddings and important occasions such as papal and foreign dignitary visits. This Majestic and Historical Place in Manila is a must visit if you’re in the city. I would also commend them for strictly following social distancing protocols.

👀Manila Cathedral, located in the city center, is the oldest Catholic church in 💋Manila.
Its grand scale, long history, and unique shape have also become an essence of the entire city. Manila Cathedral is within walking distance from Augustin, another famous church in Manila. 🖖🏻
However, in terms of its appearance, it looks more homely and magnificent, surrounded by green trees and a fountain. 👉🏻The environment looks more beautiful.👄👣

A true merging of traditional Catholic architecture, modern influences and Philippine culture, the Manila Cathedral in Manila, Philippines, offers a melting pot of faith and art. The current cathedral was erected in 1958 in the same spot as once stood the original church, decimated during the Philippine Battle of Liberation in 1945. The cathedral was created by world renown architect Fernando Ocampo, and, though it encapsulates many of the original's qualities, the church also displays many modern influences. Once inside, you discover that the heart of it is quite majestic in it's Philippine nature, making the Manila Cathedral a must see.
