Om
Hurtige fakta: Hele strukturen er lavet af forfabrikeret stål, hvilket gør det til den første bygning i Asien, der er helt af stål. Det har neogotisk arkitektur med 24 blyindfattede vinduer importeret fra Europa.
Højdepunkter: Basilikaens hele ståldesign blev konstrueret i Belgien og sendt til Filippinerne i 52.000 forfabrikerede dele. Lyden fra dens stålkirketårn er karakteristisk, lavet af 5.000 tons stål uden at bruge en eneste søm eller træ inde i bygningen.
Insidertips
- 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.
