In this segment I highlight the wonderful Binondo Church of downtown Manila.
It is one of the oldest churches in Manila. It was constructed in 1596. It has been witness to much of Manila's colorful history. It has been through natural calamities like earthquakes, typhoons and even wars.
I am adding a few pictures of its glorious interior and a couple of its exterior. This is just to get started and will be updating this blog from time to time.
At the corner of Ongpin Street and fronting The Plaza L.Ruiz stands the historical Binondo Church better known as Minor Basilica of Saint Lorenzo Ruiz and Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish.

The interiors of the Church are just brilliant. I have posted a few photographs just to show the reader its beauty.

Sorry, its the Binondo Church and not the Sta. Cruz Church as wrongly mentioned in the comment section.
ReplyDeleteBinondo Church has been reconstructed many times due to natural calamities and only the Bell Tower is what remained of the original 16th century structure, it has retained the classic architecture that makes the place a wondrous sight for the most unforgettable occasion.
