Magellan's Cross

Magellan's Cross is a Christian

cross planted by Portuguese

and Spanish explorers as

ordered by Ferdinand

Magellan upon arriving in Cebu

in the Philippines on 16 or 17

March 1521.

This cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Menor

del Santo Niño on Magallanes Street, just in front of the

city center of Cebu City. A sign below the cross states that

the original cross is encased inside the wooden cross

made of tingalo wood. This is to protect the original cross

from people who chipped away parts of the cross for

souvenir purposes in the belief that the cross possesses

miraculous powers. Some people, however, believe that

the original cross has been destroyed or disappeared after

Magellan's death and the cross is a replica that was

planted there by the Spaniards after they successfully

christianized the Philippines.

Colon street was once owned by the family name of

Fronteras

Colon, crowded and a bit run-down now, was the site of

fashionable shops, offices, and movie houses. It was once

the heart of Cebu City's shopping and business activity, but

in recent years, much of this activity has shifted inland to

the more modern, bigger and diverse commercial and

business districts now spread in almost all of the urban

areas of the city in what was considered residential and

could make a wish. If not then it is not yet the time for

white sand and crystal clear water fringed with coconut

palm grooves and limestone cliffs. A few feet from the

shore the sea floor gradually plunges down to a depth of

several feet below the surface.

The beach can be crowded during weekends where locals

and city folks, and occasionally foreigners, flock to enjoy

the beautiful sand, sea and sun. Because of its unique

location, being an arcing shoreline on a lagoon, the sand

at the southernmost end of the beach shifts northward

Fort San Pedro

B9 • A. Pigafetta Street, Cebu City 6000, Philippines

Fuerte de San Pedro is a

military defense structure in

Cebu, built by the Spanish

under the command of Miguel

López de Legazpi, first

governor of the Captaincy

General of the Philippines. It is

located in the area now called Plaza Independencia, in the

pier area of the city. The original fort was made of wood

and built after the arrival of Legazpi and his expedition. In

the early 17th century a stone fort was built to repel Muslim

raiders. Today's structure dates from 1738 and is the

oldest triangular bastion fort in the country. It served as the

nucleus of the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines.

During the Philippine Revolution at the end of the 19th

century, it was attacked and taken by Filipino

revolutionaries, who used it as a stronghold.

Magellan's Cross

• null

B9 • (Unnamed Road), Cebu City, Philippines

Magellan's Cross is a Christian

cross planted by Portuguese

and Spanish explorers as

ordered by Ferdinand

Magellan upon arriving in Cebu

in the Philippines on 16 or 17

March 1521.

This cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Menor

del Santo Niño on Magallanes Street, just in front of the

city center of Cebu City. A sign below the cross states that

the original cross is encased inside the wooden cross

made of tingalo wood. This is to protect the original cross

from people who chipped away parts of the cross for

souvenir purposes in the belief that the cross possesses

miraculous powers. Some people, however, believe that

the original cross has been destroyed or disappeared after

Magellan's death and the cross is a replica that was

planted there by the Spaniards after they successfully

christianized the Philippines.

Taoist Temple

Cebu Taoist Temple is a Taoist

temple located in Beverly Hills

Subdivision of Cebu City,

Philippines. The temple is built

by Cebu's substantial Chinese

community in 1972. With an

elevation of 110 metres above

sea level, the temple is a towering, multi-tiered, multi-hued

attraction accessible by three separate winding routes.

Unlike the neighboring Phu Sian Temple, the Taoist temple

is open to the worshipers and non-worshipers alike. A ritual

among devotees is where one prays to the gods to grant

one's wish. The ritual includes washing of hands, going

inside the chapel barefoot and dropping two blocks of

wood. If the blocks of wood are both face up then one

could make a wish. If not then it is not yet the time for

one's wish to be granted and one has to come to the

temple some other time.

Colon Street

Colon Street is a historical

street in downtown Cebu City

that is often called the oldest

and the shortest national road

in the Philippines. It is named

after Cristóbal Colón. It traces

its origins to the town plan by

Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, the Spanish conquistador who

arrived in the Philippines to establish a colony in 1565.

Colon street was once owned by the family name of

Fronteras

Colon, crowded and a bit run-down now, was the site of

fashionable shops, offices, and movie houses. It was once

the heart of Cebu City's shopping and business activity, but

in recent years, much of this activity has shifted inland to

the more modern, bigger and diverse commercial and

business districts now spread in almost all of the urban

areas of the city in what was considered residential and

leisure settlements.
