Located in the Plaza Roma, Intramuros, Manila Cathedral is the main Catholic church in the Philippines.
Manila Cathedral is actually the sixth church to have been built on this site, the earlier ones having been destroyed by earthquake, fire, or war (including an almost compete destruction during the Second World War).
The present church was rebuilt in 1954-58 in a neo-Romanesque style, and features a magnificent cupola, stained glass windows and mosaics, and restored walls from the earlier cathedral destroyed in 1945. It has a large organ with 4,500 pipes which was built in the Netherlands.
