San Agustin Church and Museum

Constructed between 1586 and 1607 by Augustinian friars under architect Juan Macías, San Agustin Church is the oldest stone church in the Philippines. It survived earthquakes in 1645, 1863 and 1880 and was the only structure in Intramuros left standing after World War II. It houses the tomb of Miguel López de Legazpi, founder of Manila. It was declared a National Historical Landmark and inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 as one of the Baroque Churches of the Philippines.

The church is an active Roman Catholic parish and Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation and Cincture. It represents Spanish colonial Baroque architecture and Augustinian heritage in the Philippines. The adjoining museum preserves ecclesiastical art, vestments, and colonial-era artifacts, serving as a center for religious and cultural education within the historic walled city of Intramuros.
