For the first time in my life, I finally got to visit San Sebastian Church. And I'm very happy I did.
More formally known as the Minor Basilica of San Sebastian, it is renowned for being the only steel church in the Philippines. In 2011, it was declared as a National Cultural Treasure. It was built in 1891 so it has been standing tall in Recto for much longer than I've been born but it's in a part of Manila that I never really go to so I never had the chance to visit. But thanks to my nephew and his graduation, I now have.
I didn't have a lot of time to fully appreciate San Sebastian Church when I was there but I did take a few photos. Hopefully, this won't be the last time I get to visit this national cultural treasure. (I need to make sure it isn't.)
