The most beautiful religious buildings Cebu

Superb, next to Magellan's Cross, in the town center. The present structure was built in 1602 after being ravaged by fire. The original structure (1565) was made of wood. The basilica houses the Santo Niño relic, the oldest Christian treasure in the Philippines, given by Magellan in 1521 to Queen Juana. Filipinos queue up to pay homage to this statue (it's a mad rush on Sundays and during the Sinulog festival).

This imposing temple bears witness to the presence of a sizeable Chinese community on the island since the ^16th century. In the past, these merchants intermarried with the Spanish elite, and despite the vicissitudes of history, many of their descendants are still established on the island. Located in the Beverly Hills district - so named because it is home to the city's wealthiest residents - the temple is reached by taking a Jeepney signposted "Lahu Lahu". It is one of Cebu's most visited non-Catholic religious buildings.
