jps-travelogue visita la iglesia series 13 : The Basilica Minore de San Sebastian - Quiapo, Manila


San Sebastian Church is one of the bigger churches to visit in Manila. This church is majestic. It has interesting  external architecture and an elaborate interior  with fairly long aisle going to the altar. This church is an example of Gothic Revival architecture, it is the only all-steel church in the country, and claimed as the only prefabricated steel church in the world.

It is depressing, though, to see rust in some of the pillars and walls.  I believe Restoration and stabilization of the century-old steel structure is urgently needed.

Definitely worth a visit for Catholics and those who appreciate old churches. A truly beautiful building.
