Known as the “city of 10 churches,” Intramuros is a walled city crowned by the spires and domes of its spiritual abodes. Brightest among its jewels is one grand design and fertile history: the San Agustin Church.

The Augustinian fathers built the San Agustin Church, a temporary structure of bamboo and thatch, in 1570. Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, the founder of Manila, donated its lot. Fire ruined the Church in 1574 and 1583.
