Sie wurde bereits mit dem Patrozinium der Unbefleckten Empfängnis geführt. Die Kirche fiel 1615 einem Stadtbrand zum Opfer. Jose Rodriguez begann 1682 mit dem Bau einer ersten steinernen Kirche. Das Hauptschiff wurde bald fertig gestellt. Das Querschiff aus Kalkstein wurde 1706 vollendet, 1721 wurde die Kirche gesegnet. Doch bereits 1747 brannte die Kirche nach einem Blitz erneut aus und wurde dann 1756 repariert. Basilika Unter Pedro Cuesta wurde die bestehende Kirche niedergelegt, um für die wachsende Bevölkerung einen größeren Neubau zu errichten, der 1851 an der gleichen Stelle begonnen wurde. Am 2. Februar 1857 wurde die Kirche fertiggestellt. Die einschiffige Kirche mit einem kurzen Querschiff hat bei einer Breite von 14 Metern eine Länge von über 70 Metern.

Aduana Building

The Aduana Building (Aduana de Manila or Manila Customs House), also known as the Intendencia, was a Spanish colonial structure in Manila, Philippines, that housed several government offices through the years. It is located in front of the BPI Intramuros (formerly the site of the old Santo Domingo Church) at Plaza España, Soriano (Aduana) Ave. corner Muralla St. in Intramuros. Architecture This two-storey governmental structure follows a Neo-Classical tradition, with an emphasized horizontality and symmetrical form, particularly on the design of its façade. The central bay had three arched entrances and two principal staircases built around the two atriums. The rectangular fenestration on the upper most story were decorated with rustication. The window-like portals opening out to small balconies were framed with pilasters topped with ornate capitals and were adorned with elaborate geometrical grillework. Similar ornate grillework also decorated the main entryways in the building. History The Aduana, or Custom House, was built in Intramuros to attract merchants to remain within its walls rather than outside of it. Records show that in 1822, a Spanish engineer Tomás Cortes took charge of the project and began its construction in 1823. Despite objections due to insufficient space for warehousing and its distance from the port, the construction continued until its completion in 1829. However, in 1863, the Aduana suffered damage from an earthquake, which led to its demolition in 1872. Reconstruction of the building was later awarded to Luis Perez Yap-Sionjue, which began in 1874 and was completed in 1876. The rebuilding of the structure was still based from the original design of Cortes but it has now housed the Custom Offices, the Civil Administration Office (Intendencia General de Hacienda), the Treasury, and the Mint House (Casa de Moneda). When the Customs transferred, the offices of the Mint House and Treasury remained in the building and was renamed as Intendencia. In 1907, the Pontifical coronation of Nuestra Señora del Santísimo Rosario - La Naval de Manila took place in front of the Aduana Building. In World War II, the building once again suffered damage; first from Japanese bombings in 1941 and later on from American and Filipino artillery during the Battle of Manila in 1945. The Aduana was repaired after the war and served as the offices of the Central Bank of the Philippines, the National Treasury and eventually the Commission on Elections. The building was abandoned in 1979 after it was ravaged by fire. In 1997, the National Archives acquired the building to serve as their future office. Restoration efforts were under discussion since 2015, and reconstruction commenced in 2021. According to Google Street View imagery dated May 2022, some of the façades have been reconstructed with new stonework and paint.

Taytay Church

The Minor Basilica and Parish of Saint John the Baptist, commonly known as Taytay Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Taytay, Rizal, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Antipolo. History Franciscan missionaries first arrived to establish a parish in Taytay in 1579 and built a chapel made of light materials near the shores of Laguna de Bay named "Visita de Santa Ana de Sapa", dedicated to its patron saint, John the Baptist. Jesuit missionaries took over the administration of the parish in 1591, with Rev. Pedro Chirino becoming parish priest. Under Chirino, the parish was relocated from the flood-prone shores of Laguna de Bay to a higher location in a hill which was called San Juan del Monte where the parish has remained to this day. It was during his stint as parish priest that Rev. Chirino began to document the Tagalog language as well as the way of life of Filipinos from his interactions with the inhabitants, forming the basis for his book "Relación de las Islas Filipinas". A new church made of stone was built in 1599. Completed in 1601, it was considered to be the first church built by the Jesuits out of stone outside Manila. A larger church was constructed in 1630 by Fr. Juan de Salazar. In 1632, a typhoon blew away the roofing of the new church, which was soon replaced with the help of the townspeople. The church sustained significant damage in 1639 when the Chinese set fire to the church in their revolt against Spanish authorities. Blessed Diego de San Vitores and St. Pedro Calungsod Diego Luis de San Vitores was a Jesuit missionary who was assigned to Taytay from 1662 to 1668. In 1666, the Jesuits assigned a young boy named Pedro Calungsod as an altar boy in the church. Calungsod would eventually become San Vitores' assistant throughout the latter's assignment in Taytay. San Vitores was eventually assigned to be a missionary in the Marianas Islands in 1668 and Calungsod went with him as his assistant. It was in the Marianas where they would meet their martyrdom in 1672. San Vitores was among the martyred missionaries in the Mariana beatified by the Catholic Church in 1985. Calungsod was beatified in 2000 and canonized in 2012. Later works and expansion Additional works were made to the church in 1768 and 1864. Both the church and the convent were reduced to ruins during the Philippine–American War. The church remained in such state until it was reconstructed after the War. The present church is built from concrete and bears no trace of the old Jesuit Church. Elevation to Minor Basilica On January 11, 2024, Rev. Fr. Pedrito Noel Rabonza III, the parish priest, announced that Pope Francis had granted the parish church an elevation to the title of minor basilica. The solemn declaration of the basilica was held on July 9, 2024.

Casino Español de Manila

El Casino Español de Manila es un club establecido en 1893 por españoles​ residentes en Manila, Filipinas​​ para celebrar actividades culturales y sociales. Unos años más tarde admitió a miembros filipinos para fomentar los lazos hispano-filipinos en el país. El edificio del club está situado en el número 855 de la Avenida Teodoro M. Kalaw, situada en el histórico barrio de Ermita en Manila. Los registros anteriores muestran que el gobernador general español Narciso Clavería y Zaldua formalizó la fundación del Casino de Manila el 31 de octubre de 1844, fecha que es conmemorada en el casino como el año de su fundación. El primer edificio del Casino Español de Manila fue construido en 1913, pero se abrió formalmente en 1917. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto Juan Arellano, que incorporó influencias de estilo neo-renacentista. La estructura ocupaba toda la manzana de la Avenida Taft a la calle San Marcelino y albergaba las oficinas de la Cámara Española de Comercio y el Consulado General de España. Como la casa club oficial y sede social de la comunidad española en Filipinas, albergaba recepciones, celebraciones y eventos en el edificio. Entre los actos señalados en este lugar en la década de 1930 figuran la extravagante fiesta celebrada para conmemorar el cumpleaños del Rey de España - destronado en aquellos años debido a la proclamación de la Segunda República Española y la guerra civil. Además de asistir a sus diferentes salas, los huéspedes también podían ver el jardín desde la terraza mientras que los miembros podían jugar a tenis y frontón en sus espacios. En 1945 la estructura fue destruida en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial durante la Liberación de Manila. El nuevo Casino Español de Manila fue inaugurado el 3 de noviembre de 1951 con el presidente Elpidio Quirino y el vicepresidente Fernando López. En 1962 recibió a Juan Carlos I de España, que era entonces el Príncipe de la Corona, y a Sofía de Grecia, que luego sería también Reina de España. La monarca española regresó al club en el año 2000, ya como reina, durante una visita oficial a Filipinas.
