Spanish-era Churches - Page 4

JudeD · May 24th, 2004, 01:31 PM

While looking for pics to use for the DOT campaign, I rifled through my old files and found these photos I took of San Agustin among a set of Intramuros pics. Despite everything, you can't deny how this church oozes history from every pore. It isn't right that this thread doesn't have pictures of it yet!

The stately facade, now painted an accurate shade of peach

The gilded interiors and trompe l'oeil-ed ceiling

weirdo · May 26th, 2004, 06:17 PM

please do.

and maybe you can do the researching too so people who do not know things about san agustin will be very grateful when they check this thread out. if that's too much for now, we'll understand.

bernardino street, guadalupe viejo, makati city

from philtravelcenter.com:

Description: Doric architecture with massive butteresses to support its vault of hewn stones taken from the still visible but extinct Guadalupe quarry. Free from ornamentations, its walls are solid and stable and built in such a way that they still stand today as when it was completed in 1629.

How to get there?: From Taft Avenue, take the Ayala bound bus and get off at Ayala Avenue corner Makati Avenue. Take another jeepney going to J.P. Rizal (Ibabaw) and get off in front of Guadalupe Ruins.

weirdo says: get off at Guadalupe station of the MRT. walk sa gilid ng EDSA then enter Bernardino street (yung may loyola memorial chapel) then walk
lang dun sa street. makikita na un sa may right. pag di nakita umiyak na lang.

Travel Time: Aproximately one (1) hour. but much less than that if you follow my way.

from makati.gov.ph:

During his term as mayor following the 1986 EDSA Revolution, Jejomar C. Binay (1986-1998) changed the official seal to one that more accurately reflects the state of Makati: It shows the Guadalupe Church, an enduring symbol of the community's Spanish heritage, surrounded by skyscrapers that represent the new Makati, a vibrant financial center. Thirty-three rays emanate from the center, each ray representing the 33 barangays of Makati. It symbolizes the unity of the various communities that continues to illuminate and sustain Makati up to this day.

surviving pics from weirdo's imagestation:

kinda weird inside

claim to fame: this church appears on the official seal of makati city (the financial capital of the philippines) and it is said that this parish has been used so many times to film tv commercials, soaps and movies.

rico · June 5th, 2004, 01:51 AM

bagel · June 5th, 2004, 02:48 AM

Yes it is. There are more pics of it in the beginning of this thread. I think on page 2.

rico · June 5th, 2004, 04:40 AM

weirdo · June 5th, 2004, 09:45 AM

renell · June 5th, 2004, 10:58 AM

damn. i haven't had the time for uploading, with exams and moving... guess they will have to appear around july-august

ron_guevara · June 7th, 2004, 07:38 AM

Does anybody have pics of the "nature" church in Moonwalk Village, Las Piñas? If not, I'll try to go there sometime and take pictures myself. I heard that it looks nice, being built of all natural materials.

SunKing · June 7th, 2004, 12:53 PM

It's a really nice church, it's basically a garden with a place of worship inside. It was built on a 4000 sq. m. mango orchard and was designed by Bobby Mañosa. Even the pews are tree stumps. Here's a pic:

archie · June 8th, 2004, 11:42 AM

awesome pics!

We have a church in Poblacion, Makati City that was built on 1620 by the jesuits. This is Sts. Peter and Paul Parish originally known as Sampiro along P. Burgos St. Unlike the Guadalupe ruins (Nuestra señora de gracia), the church was not been damaged by wars. So the Church(structure) is much older than Guadalupe ruins. This is where the original name of Makati came from (San Pedro de Makati). Unfotunately, it was renovated and altered before 1980 (if I'm not mistaken). We are now campaigning for it's restoration to it's original design. Maybe you can help us in finding old pictures of it's original design. If you have any info on where we can find one, pls text our contact us at 0927-3011847. It will be a great help. More power to this thread.
