The Nuestra Senora de Gracia Parish Church

You may think that I am commiting an error or must been forgetful and still, must have had amnesia. A double entry is a possibility or perhaps you may think that I am running out of churches to capture and feature here on my blog.

The Nueatra Senora de Gracia Parish Church is indeed truly one of the hidden gems of the metropolis and one of my personal favourites.

This is Makati's oldest church and some refer to it as the Guadalupe Ruins. This was used by Filipinos as a fortress against the Spaniards in 1896 and against the Americans in 1898.

Built by the Agustian friars and follows the baroque architectural style.
