Om
Snabba fakta: Hela dess struktur är gjord av prefabricerat stål vilket gör den till den första helt stålkonstruktionen i Asien. Den har neogotisk arkitektur med 24 glasmålningar importerade från Europa.
Höjdpunkter: Basilikans helt stålkonstruktion designades i Belgien och skeppades till Filippinerna i 52 000 prefabricerade delar. Ljudet från dess stålklocktorn är distinkt, tillverkat av 5 000 ton stål utan att använda en enda spik eller trä inuti byggnaden.
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.
