Malate Church, Catholic parish church in Malate, Manila, Philippines.
Malate Church is a Catholic parish church in Manila that combines baroque architecture with neo-Mudéjar styles, featuring twisted columns and intricate decorations across its facade. The building overlooks Manila Bay and serves as a visual landmark for the surrounding neighborhood.
Founded in 1588, the church underwent multiple reconstructions following earthquakes and wars before reaching its current form in 1864. Its building history reflects the turbulent past of Manila and its surroundings.
The church houses a statue of Our Lady of Remedies brought from Spain in 1624, drawing mothers who seek blessings for their children's wellbeing.
The church welcomes visitors and holds daily Mass services in Tagalog and English. It is best to check service times in advance and dress modestly, particularly when religious ceremonies are taking place.
In April 2023, the National Museum of the Philippines designated the church as an Important Cultural Property. This recognition honors its significance as a historical monument linked to the nation's heritage.
