The Catholic church is located in Intramuros, Manila where one has to pass by the Spanish-built bricked road before entering its parking area. Inside the church, one can see and feel the antiquity of its artistic designs and paintings. Sitting in its solemnity, one could easily notice an antiquely made terrace-like mezzanine which is round and built just beside a post facing the audience or churchgoers. This was where the priest or "friar" stood before the believers to preach. This church is also one of popular choices of many Filipina brides due to its long aisle, where brides walks down donning their signatured gowns. Lightings were in chandeliers accompanied by sun's rays coming in from translucent side window panes. More so, other tourists ride in 'Calesa', a horse-driven cart to go around intramuros before ending up in this church. So, if you are a Catholic and like antiquity and history, this church is a must-see.

A nice review...I am a lover of churches and some of my most honest thinking has been done whilst sitting very still in a church. Thank you for writing this review....J.
