Fall in love with the Philippines, these places are very worth checking in

Southeast Asia is a wonderful place, if you ask me which country I can't forget, the Philippines must be on the list. in love with the Philippinesis due to its rich and colorful cultural landscape. Manila Cathedral: Hidden in the capital of the Philippines, Manila, is a historic Romanesque church. It originated from the Basilica-style buildings of ancient Rome, and evolved into the Romanesque church we are familiar with. This prototype of the church has a mountain-shaped wall and a stone sloping roof, and widely uses round arch design. Its appearance is like a sturdy castle of feudal lords, showing the majesty of the church with a heavy and unbreakable image. The church is located in a quiet and beautiful environment, surrounded by green grass. Fort Santiago: Manila integrates Eastern and Western cultures, and its old district, the King City District, and Fort Santiago, have witnessed the rise and fall of this city and the war. The fort was originally built as a defensive fortress, and has witnessed the history of the Philippines through many wars. Fort Santiago, after years of baptism, the light and shadow shuttle in its vicissitudes of life, leaving only mottled marks. However, in the year after year of time, it is still as quiet as before, as if time is just an insignificant passerby to it. St. Augustine Cathedral: St. Augustine Church is a Catholic church that was founded in 1571. It was originally built with bamboo, coconut leaves and mud, and was later burned down by pirates. During the reconstruction, it was built with stone and a large number of Chinese workers were hired to participate in the construction. The style of the church combines Baroque style and uses a lot of decorations. It is gorgeous and exquisite, and is a top-notch work of architectural art.
