Great Cathedral to see with in the walled city, history surrounds the whole area, and the Cathedral has been a part of that for almost 500 years. This is not the original Cathedral but still very impressive to see. Amazing architecture throughout the cathedral and certainly one of the top attractions to see.

I visited on a rainy Sunday. I like the ambiance of the church and the cafe inside the church premises. I like how the cafe could be a venue for prosopals and how the staff are willing to participate and help preparations for such events.

The Manila Cathedral was known as the premier church, cathedral and basilica of the country. It was bombed in 1945 and was rebuilt again. In 1970s, it was visited by Pope Paul VI wherein thousands of people came to the mother church of the country. In 1981

This church has a pretty incredible story as the current church is version #8 from when it was originally visit. The previous ones have all been destroyed by either war or natural disasters. This is why it isn't a UNESCO world heritage site, but it is just as nice. The only thing that was off putting were the cheap plastic chairs that they use for parishioners.
