This church is a must see for tourist who wish to see the Philippines, particularly Intramuros, Manila. It is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines, completed in 1604. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. https://philippinesetcetera.wordpress.com/

Actually, the existing structure is a few hundred years younger as it has gone through renovations and repairs with one belltower removed.

Intramuros as a whole is a great place to visit, too bad though that most of us Filipinos are taking it for granted and now some part of it are already restricted for some reason, schools should include this place for field trips instead of amusement parks etc
