#January Destinations 2026 The Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, located in Cebu City, Philippines, was built in 1565 and is the oldest Roman Catholic church in the Philippines, situated on the same line as the City Hall. The church is famous for its wooden statue of the infant Jesus, about 40 centimeters tall. It was gifted by Magellan in 1521 to Queen Juana, the wife of the indigenous chief Rajah Humabon. The statue survived the great fire of Cebu in 1565 intact, considered a miracle. The church was rebuilt in 1740, and the complex includes a pilgrimage center. The interior preserves frescoed ceilings and sculptures of the Virgin Mary and Child, and it is now a core religious landmark of Cebu City. On the altar of the church is a 40-centimeter-tall wooden statue of the infant Jesus, the patron saint of Cebu, and the oldest such statue in the Philippines. The statue's long history bears witness to the changes in Cebu. Under the sunlight, the statue appears even more sacred, inspiring a sense of awe. For those of you visiting Cebu, remember to check this out!
