Cebu Philippines...

The church of Santo Niño de Cebu was founded by an Augustinian priest, Andrés de Urdaneta on April 28, 1565. The first church structure was built out of earth, hard wood and nipa in 1566 ordered by Fr. Diego de Herrera. In 1735, Fernando Valdés y Tamon, the Governor of Cebu, ordered the church to be constructed of hard stone, which was built in the same spot were the previous church stood. Construction was completed in 1739. In 1965, during the fourth centenary of the Christianization of the Philippines, Pope Paul VI elevated the church to the rank of minor basilica.

The Basilica remains under the care of the Order of St. Augustine.

superb colors and contrast, like it!
and been here before too ;-)
cheers!

Great shot Ramon

These old churches in the Philippines are a treasure; and the Filipino love of decorating and brightening up their environment is nicely seen here.

Good saturation adjustment, nice POV and well balanced exposure.
