Basilica del Sto. Nino

Just across the Magellan's Cross marker is the Basilica del Sto. Nino. It is 16th century church built on the spot where the image of Sto Nino, a sculpture of the depicting the child Jesus christ was found by Spanish explorers in 1565 preserved in a burned wooden box which was left behind during the 1521 Magellan expedition.


We also went inside the church's museum where it housed old religuous relics and images.
