Manila - Malate Church & Jeepneys 1996
Considered as one of the oldest churches built outside the walls of Intramuros, the church's facade was built with a blend of Muslim and Baroque architecture. It has Solomonic columns on the second story. Nonetheless, unlike other Baroque churches at that time, it has no belfry standing on either of its side. Two flaming hearts, an Augustinian emblem flank the entrance; however they now showed signs of wearing and deterioration because the original palitada had been scraped off the surface. The Muslim influence is apparent in the trefoil arches on the hexagonal side turrets. This architectural fusion gives the facade a tranquil atmosphere
