This church is very near the university of my daughter so we make it a point to visit it while we were there. It is located in Intamuros also known as Walled City. It is UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest stone church in the Philippines. It has Baroque architecture and the details are very intricate. Just sharing you a part of my country.

Thank you for sharing this. What a very beautiful church. A lot of artistry and talent went into these old buildings. They didn't have the tools and materials that we have nowadays.

Yeah I've been to that church before. But only because of the school catechism events.
