Fatos rápidos: Known for a massive 8-meter high and 7-meter wide altar, this church showcases a blend of Baroque and Gothic architecture styles. It once housed the revered image of El Santo Cristo de Longos, famous for miraculous healing powers.
Destaques: A unique feature includes a 19th-century bell tower with four large bells that historians say survived World War II bombings, a rare survivor in Manila. The church’s floor is made of marble tiles imported from Spain, offering cool relief on hot days and adding grandeur to every step.
