Part of a World Heritage Site with three other Baroque churches, San Agustin Church stands within Manila’s Intramuros, the second oldest church in the country. Completed in 1587, the church takes after some Augustinian-built churches in Mexico, testifying to the area's Spanish colonial heritage. Great trompe l’oeil murals on the ceiling, 14 side chapels, classical marble columns, an intricate rose window, carved doors, and a large garden make this place a must-visit and a great escape from the busy city. While on site, visit the museum adjacent to the church, which details the edifice’s rich history.

Love the atmosphere. This place is itself a story and you get more tempted to know by just viewing the amazing architecture of old times. The construction is strong and untouched. It's just like a beautiful Maze , you just wanna get lost in it. The cafe and surrounding are amazing to get into the groove and make the best memories out of it

This historical landmark doubles as both a church and a museum and is a must visit in Intramuros. They have many archives that are well preserved and will give you an eye opening lesson on the early Spanish rule along with the influence if the church which has shaped much of modern Philippines today. There is an entrance ticket but they only accept cash for payment. Guides are also available and that comes with an additional cost
