A beautiful church to visit when in Manila. Though Manila is having many churches.. this one is located ideally on the coast.. facing the sea.. the famous statue.. outside the church.. makes it more beautiful.. @ Mainly Manila

It's very solemn despite the small or average size of the church structure. The image of Our Lady of Remedies stands so stunning in the center of the altar retablo in her rightful place and has withstood here despite the ravages of time and historical battles in the City of Manila.

GOING HISTORICAL™️ Parroquia Nuestra Señora de los Remedios (Our Lady of Remedies Church) Also known as Malate Church, circa 1864 📌 Malate District, Manila There was only one church in Malate in 1591 and was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1645. Construction of a new brick church began in 1677 by Fr. Dionisio Suarez, however the British occupied the church in 1762 and left it in serious damage. A typhoon eventually destroyed the church. And so, in 1864, construction of the third church, the present one, started by Fr. Francisco Cuadrado. The design of the church facade is unusual because there is an interplay of Muslim design and Mexican-baroque style. Malate Church is one of only two in the country that has twisted columns projecting a colonial style where the design of the facade lies the significance of Malate Church. On 22 April 2023, the National Museum of the Philippines declared the church an Important Cultural Property. Malate District, together with Ermita is considered as the CBD of Manila. Footnote: (While we already finished the #GoingHistorical Series featuring all the Spanish-built churches in Cagayan, we don't stop there. We go beyond Cagayan with the same purpose of reliving the eternal legacies of colonial Spain that shaped the lives of the Filipinos). #MalateChurch #GoingHistorical #RemediosChurch #MalateManila
