This is a unique church fabricated from steel manufatured and assembled by Belgian engineers over 100 years ago. Currently under much needed renovation - not many tourists, and parking is free.
Plaza Roma is located in the historical quarter of the big, bustling city of Manila. Teeming with tourists, guides & quite a few spots of historical importance.
You will most likely pass by this small plaza when exploring the Intramuros area. Basically it is a triangle shaped plaza formed by 3 streets. The focal point is the statue of King Philip II of Spain with the Aduana Building as a background. I just took some photos and moved on.
Dropped by here to look for the "alleged remains" of Gen Antonio Luna. One of the old church in Manila which began as a simple wood and straw hut before 1574 CE. Its modern structure was built around 1588. Destroyed by the British during their foray to the Philippines. The structure now was built in 1933 with the approved design by Julio Nakpil. It was around lunch time presently despite the CV19 pandemic limited masses are now allowed. The faithful fills the interior and exteriors of the basilica. Pls take note that the safety personnel are enforcing CV 19 protocols. On the outside various stall sell religious (and not so religious) items mostly is filled with people (oops CV19) so please be careful and be aware of your surroundings. This place gets filled up during the feast of the black Nazarene on January of every year. Unfortunately, the remains of Gen Luna was transferred out to an unknown area. The search continues. #RP
It is located by the side of the Sound and Light Museum. The external appearance of this post-war building closely mimics that of the Augustinian Provincial House which is an extension of the nearby San Augustín Church. Now i think it is used as an office or it is abandon.
