Why it ranks
One of the four UNESCO-listed Baroque Churches of the Philippines (inscribed 1993); the stone church inside Intramuros is noted for its trompe-l'oeil ceiling paintings and high-Baroque retablos.
Don't miss: Look up at the painted ceiling, then walk the cloisters of the adjoining museum.
Best for: Architecture and heritage visitors; pair with the adjoining Museo San Agustin.
Good to know: An active parish with weddings most weekends, so parts of the church may be closed to visitors for ceremonies; the museum has a separate entrance and fee.
