Significant site
As part of the Philippines' history, this site is a must. The visit with my family was quick but worth it. We took a lot of pictures. The ceiling's paintings really tell a lot of stories that it has the power to transform you back in time when our ancestors fight for our independence.

A Must-See for the Religious and History Buffs
There's no amazing item here. One, there's none left of the original wooden cross planted by Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan. So the administrator put in its place a concrete replica of the cross. There's a mural on the ceiling for History buff to take a photograph. Since this is a landmark of the island, you may have a souvenir photo here. It is a walking distance from the churches, city hall, plaza and the commercial center on Colon Street at downtown.Parking here is a problem but you can buy souvenir items at the nearby Santo Nino cathedral where a mass is celebrated every other hour .A more historical site and of value is on Mactan island where the navigator was killed by Lapu-Lapu. Since there are no other historical sites then this could be a must-visit site for both religious and historians.
