San Ignacio Church, Neoclassical church in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
San Ignacio Church features grand columns and ornamental details that exemplify architectural elements from the late 19th century religious buildings in Southeast Asia.
The church, completed in 1899 under architect Felix Roxas Sr, incorporated stones from an earlier structure and stood until its destruction during the Battle of Manila in 1945.
Interior designer Isabelo Tampinco created elaborate wooden carvings throughout the church, incorporating Filipino motifs into the religious decorative elements.
The site now houses the Centro de Turismo Intramuros, displaying historical artifacts and exhibits from the Museo de Intramuros collection.
The church earned the title 'Golden Dream' of the Jesuits due to its combination of European architectural style with Filipino craftsmanship and materials.
