St. Augustine's Church is characterized by reliefs on stones, meticulously realistic. When I arrived in the morning, there were many Filipino students in the square. The team and some foreigners gathered at the door to take pictures. The happy foster children. At that time, there were few people who saw it and did not visit. When I came back, I found that there was no cave in it. I regretted it. I have the opportunity to go in and see it! ! The interior of the church is painted on the ceiling and walls, with the statues of Augustine and Jesus in the center. The ashes of the senior officials of the Philippines are buried in the church, and the floor is engraved with the year of the dead. The most tropical features are branch lights and bright sunlight that shine on stained glass for a long time.

    The St. Augustine Cathedral in Manila, Philippines, consists of two parts: chapel and monastery. The Baroque chapel is the architectural essence of the entire St. Augustine, while the monastery is partly a museum, with a large collection of precious items such as French clothes, the Holy Grail of gold, silver crosses, ivory statues, silk mantles embroidered with gold threads and oil paintings. The focus of this article is on the organ inside the church, which is rare to see. As a world historical and cultural heritage, St. Augustine's Cathedral has also experienced the destruction of war, and many precious collections have been lost in successive wars. After World War II, St. Augustine was rebuilt. The church and the First Abbey restored the appearance of the year, and in 1965, to commemorate 400 years of Catholic transmission in the Philippines, St. Augustine exhibited photographs of hundreds of churches built across the country between the 16th and 19th centuries, which spawned the idea of creating a museum. Since then, St. Augustine has continuously collected various precious cultural relics lost in the wars and displayed in the monastery for public viewing. Today, St. Augustine is not only a church, a monastery, but also a museum that collects many Filipino and Spanish art treasures. It is an important place to display the historical and cultural treasures of the Philippines and is worth visiting. I feel that it is not enough to spend a whole day.

    The Philippines is home to numerous Catholic churches, known as the "Vatican of the East." In Manila, the capital, the heart of the city where Spanish colonists lived, stands a church that survived earthquakes, typhoons and fighting, St. Augustine, a 400-year-old church that was listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1993.

    Church listed in the World Heritage List. The building is magnificent, ornate, with colorful glass and sculptures on both sides of the large corridor. This church has experienced war, earthquakes and many natural disasters, and has been rebuilt and repaired many times, and is still brilliant.

    The place where the appearance of the colonial era remains.. But there is a hidden struggle of people who devoted their lives to the independence of the Philippines.
