O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Its entire structure is made of prefabricated steel, making it the first all-steel building in Asia. It features Neo-Gothic architecture with 24 stained glass windows imported from Europe.
Zajímavosti: The basilica's all-steel design was engineered in Belgium and shipped to the Philippines in 52,000 prefabricated parts. The sound of its steel bell tower is distinct, crafted from 5,000 tons of steel without using a single nail or wood inside the building.
Insider tipy
- Wear comfortable shoes as the floors can be slippery inside.
- Bring a camera to capture the intricate stained glass and steelwork details.
- Avoid visiting during noon prayers to experience quieter reflection time.
- Check local mass schedules if interested in attending a service to observe local traditions.
