The streets of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, are dotted with churches of all sizes, and the Augustinian Church is one of the most impressive. Although its appearance is not particularly grand, the ancient story and the history of the vicissitudes of life, the content is like an art palace, showing a romantic atmosphere everywhere, it is amazing. The Augustin Church is located in the heart of the Plaza de Espaa and is easily accessible by foot or by horse-drawn carriage. The exterior of the church is not particularly gorgeous, the hall of a masonry building, and the four-story square tower, seemingly unpretentious. However, walking into the interior of the church is quite different from the rustic look. The interior of the church is splendid, with a rounded roof and a pretty exquisite mural, which looks quite impressive. In addition, when I came to the ancient Augustin church, it was in the afternoon, many people in the church were praying, the pastor prayed in front, and the people stood quietly underneath, silently silently, silently in the mouth, it was extraordinarily solemn. Entering the church along the corridor, the magnificent crystal lamps, the beautiful glass windows, the paintings of the Virgin on both sides, the cross of Jesus, dazzling and dazzling. The location of the church is the heart of the city in which the Spanish colonists lived. After more than 400 years of experience here, this great church has survived the earthquake, typhoon, and baptism of war. It has to be said to be a legend of the city.

St.Agustin Church is a Catholic church. It was built in 1571. The earliest building was built of bamboo, coconut leaves and earth. In 1574, the invaded pirates burned to ashes. After the reconstruction and destruction of the fire, the Spanish colonial authorities had to decide to rebuild the St. Augustine Church with stone. In 1599, when the church started, there was a problem immediately. The locals only used coconuts and bamboo to make buildings. There was no way to repair such a stone building. At that time, the Philippines was an important transit point for Chinese people to move to Nanyang. Many Chinese would stay in the Philippines, so the Spaniards hired a large number of Chinese workers to repair the church.
