Malate Church, Catholic parish church in Malate, Manila, Philippines.
The church exhibits a combination of baroque architecture and Neo-Mudéjar styles, with twisted columns and intricate decorations on its facade facing Manila Bay.
Founded in 1588, Malate Church underwent multiple reconstructions due to earthquakes and wars, with the current structure completed in 1864.
The church houses a statue of Our Lady of Remedies brought from Spain in 1624, attracting mothers who seek blessings for their children.
The parish conducts daily Mass services in both Tagalog and English, along with ceremonies for baptisms, weddings, and other religious celebrations.
