One of the historical church in the Philippines built 500 years ago. The Cathedral is really massive and has splendid architecture which has a spanish era feel to it, even though it has been renovated so many times. There are many statues and many ornate decorations. The windows on the top have glass paintings which are really attractive. Cathedral keeps the memories of Pope Fracis's visit years back, which is carved on to the main door. The church is more refined and stylish now. Parking space is at the back of the Cathedral at Anda street. ️Accessible entrance is at the right side of main entrance. Face shield and mask is a must to enter. There's temperature check at the main entrance. All other entrances are closed for now. As of now there's only one holy mass at 5pm everyday for limited crowd.

meticulous, artistic design of the exterior, accessible and welcoming. One of the few churches with a very good natural ambiance. Plaza Roma appeared to be its exclusive lawn yet open for public.

Otherwise known as the Manila Cathedral, Pope John Paul II issued a Papal Bull in 1981 designating this cathedral the honour of becoming a minor basilica. Established in 1571, the Manila Cathedral still hosts daily mass, occasional weddings and important occasions such as papal and foreign dignitary visits. There seemed to be a baccalaureate mass during our visit and even though we tried, we could not get in – it was packed. We hope you have better luck as this was extraordinarily disappointing. Anyway, after exploring the Cathedral, turn around and face the Plaza de Roma. Considered the center of the city, this garden used to be an open plaza used for bullfights and other public events. A statue of King Charles IV centres the park in honour of having sent the first ever batch of smallpox vaccines to the Philippines.

It was rebuilt and resdesigned eigth times until its final structure on c.1958. A church dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary; thus, its principal patron, together with Saint Rose of Lima and Saint Potenciana as secondary patron saints.

A place of worship for Christians. Located within Intramuros also known as the Walled City of Manila. Brings you back in time when Guardia Civil were manning the streets of Manila.

A very beautyful old cathedrahl inside Manila . Very Historic a place to play relax and found answer for life. A very good remember for me and a must to visit when you stay in Manila. The best you go with taxi or trike to the cathedrahl.

The Philippines is predominantly a Catholic country and thus, the Manila Cathedral (Minor Basilica and Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception) can be considered as the central religious landmark in the country. The old church exudes both grandness and reverence. A massive pipe organ sits at the loft above the main entrance. There are several chapels that are located on both sides of the cathedral and are very conducive to prayer and reflection. If you are touring Manila, a visit to the Manila Cathedral should be part of your itinerary.

Majestic and historical place in Manila. The Minor Basilica and Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, also known as the Manila Cathedral, is the cathedral of Manila and basilica located in Intramuros, the historic walled city within today's modern city of Manila, Philippines. Manila Cathedral started to open their doors again to the public last September 16, 2020 to maximimum of 80 people with strict compliance of safety protocol.
