“Manila Cathedral: A Timeless History”

#manilatrips The Manila Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, is a Roman Catholic church located in Intramuros, Manila. Originally built in 1581, it has undergone several reconstructions due to natural disasters, with the current structure completed in 1958. The cathedral is a fine example of Neo-Romanesque architecture, featuring beautiful stained-glass windows, intricate mosaics, and impressive altars. It holds significant historical and religious importance, serving as the seat of the Archbishop of Manila. As a must-visit spot, it offers a glimpse into Manila’s rich colonial past and is a symbol of resilience and faith.
