Intramuros: Basilica Menor de La Concepcion Inmaculada

The Manila Cathedral was first built in 1581 actually this is the 6th cathedral built after typhoons, earthquakes and the bombings of World War II. It once had a bell tower until a strong earthquake hit the walled city in 1880, after which the cathedral remained towerless. The cathedral was elevated into the rank of basilica menor by Pope John Paul II in 1981. =P
