Magellan's Cross Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Magellan Cross is the symbol of Cebu, and the image of the chapel appears in the center of the city emblem. This is the cross that Magellan erected on the beach after arriving in Cebu, symbolizing the colonization of the islands by the Spanish king, and is now housed in a hexagonal pavilion in the center of Cebu City Hall. The ceiling frescoes of the hexagonal chapel still retain their original appearance, and the realistic ceiling frescoes on the top of the cross are of great ornamental value. Cebuans believe in and respect this cross with historical and cultural significance. Every Sunday morning, countless good men and women bring incense and candles to pray for peace and good luck.

The Magellan’s Cross or Shrine is said to be the location where the Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan erected a cross to signify the propagation of the Roman Catholic faith in the Philippines and Asia.For the locals, the Cross or the Shrine has miraculous powers that could heal them even from the diseases which are considered as incurable by medical doctors.
It was an amazing experience witnessing ongoing mass and interacting with the locals.
I went there recommended by the locals, but it was small and small. I can't enter the building, and it feels like looking at the crosses and paintings standing inside from the outside. However, the paintings and crosses inside are very good. Let's go see the buildings standing on the left and right together, not just for this purpose.
