San Agustin Church

It's my first time visiting a church, but this place looks more like a tourist attraction to me. After I put my right foot down from the motorcycle, people started gathering around me to sell their sightseeing tours. Even when I rented a bamboo bike, one of them kept following and offered his best package. Anyway, the church is extremely beautiful, delicate, and holy. Though I don't understand the sermon as it's Tagalog, it is pretty intense. You should not miss this place, whether you're a tourist or a believer.

Beautiful old, historical church in Intramuros and one of the 4 UNESCO heritage "Baroque Churches of the Philippines". The design of this church is quite unique and not as grandiose as the other Spanish era churches but inside is large and magnificent. The design of the ceilings and walls were changed and modernized but the facade has been kept the same. I was impressed with the tile floors with inscriptions of names and birth dates/death dates. I don't think people noticed it because when I took pictures, the other visitors also started checking the tiles. Since it is inside the walls of Intramuros, it can get really busy and crowded with people. There's a museum just beside the church entrance but we weren't able to get in because of the crowd.

I wanted to have a classic wedding hence we had our vows and sacrament of matrimony here last 20th Oct 2024! Super love the baroque style architecture of this church. Perfect for my dream wedding! You need to book 1-2yrs beforehand if you want a specific date for your wedding day! ♥️ This is the oldest church in the Philippines which also survived WWII. Only cons is no air conditioning.

San Agustin Church is a true gem in the heart of Manila. The intricate Baroque architecture and stunning interior design transport you back in time, making it more than just a place of worship—it's a living museum of Filipino history and devotion. The serene atmosphere inside the church offers a perfect setting for reflection and prayer. The choir's heavenly hymns further enhance the spiritual experience. The church's rich history is palpable, with every corner telling a story of resilience and faith. Whether you're attending Mass, seeking solace, or simply exploring, San Agustin Church is a must-visit for anyone in Manila.

This spot is great for photo. There will be married couple or wedding ceremony during the day. 😻 in front of the church there are restaurant and famous cafe

An impressive church in Intramuros, it's a UNESCO designated monument. On Sundays the entry is restricted and only allowed after 1:00pm as they have a mass happening. It has been standing for 500 years and has survived WWII.

The distinctive fusion of European and Asian architectural styles in the Philippines is truly captivating, presenting a striking contrast to the architectural norms of other Asian nations. This historical church offers a compelling narrative, making it an essential destination for cultural and design enthusiasts. ✨🇵🇭⛪️ #Architecture #History #Philippines #Travel #Culture #Design

Another huge church within the grounds of Intramuros that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When we visited, the doors seemed closed so we didn’t bother entering, but the facade alone is enough to take good pictures. Since the walk inside Intramuros doesn’t take that much long, it’s definitely worth visiting.
