Wedding Ceremony
Basilica Minore de San Sebastian
(02) 734-89-08
Plaza del Carmen, Quiapo, Manila
Arguably the church with the most unique architecture in the country , the aging San Sebastian Church is made of imported precut steel sheets welded here. A warmly lit interior and a picturesque altar combine to produce a solemn overall feel. Sitting in the heart of the university belt, this church has captivated the hearts of couples and photographers alike.
Completed in 1891, San Sebastian Church is noted for its architectural features. An example of the revival of Gothic Church architecture in the Philippines, it has been recognized by the UNESCO as the only all-steel church or basilica in Asia. It has also been implausibly reputed to be the first prefabricated building in the world, and more plausibly claimed as the only prefabricated steel church in the world. In 2006, San Sebastian Church was included in the "Tentative List" for possible designation as a World Heritage Site. It was designated as a National Historical Landmark by the Philippine government in 1973.
