Manila Metropolitan Cathedral, the ecclesiastical seat of the Archdiocese of Manila.
Plaza Roma, Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
Officially established on September 21, 1581, the first Cathedral of Manila was constructed out of wood, bamboo, and nipa — materials which were readily available at the time.
Throughout the centuries, the cathedral had been ravaged by natural disasters and bombed during the Battle of Liberation in 1945. The present-day structure is actually the eighth cathedral which rose from the desolate ruins of its predecessors.
