    BAROQUE DESIGN:
    SAN AGUSTIN
    CHURCH IN MANILA
    San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila exhibits a
    perfect example of Baroque design and structures. The
    San Agustin Church is built between 1587 and 1606. It is
    considered the longest-standing and oldest church in the
    Philippines. The church still remains even after the World
    War II. It was also considered as one of UNESCO Heritage
    Site in the Philippines.

    The church exhibits Baroque designs such as retablos (altars) and wall buttresses that separates cripto collateral
    chapels. It is also known for its ceiling paintings in the tromp l’oeil style.

    The construction of the church began in 1571 under the direction of the Agustinian Order. The St Augustine Church
    Manila was constructed using nipa and bamboo, like many other constructions at the time. Limahong, a Chinese
    pirate, stormed Manila in 1574. The city was set on fire as a result of the invasion, and the San Agustin Church was
    one of the buildings that was destroyed. A year later, the church was rebuilt for the first time. They utilized wooden
    materials, which are more prone to fire, to restore the church. In fact, the church was destroyed by another fire in
    1583.

    The Augustinian friars chose adobe stones to rebuild the church. Juan Macias was selected to manage the design and
    construction of the church in 1586, and it was completed in 1607. Even the worst earthquake that struck Manila in the
    16th and 17th centuries did not destroy the new construction. The fall of one of the church's bell towers, which was
    afterwards permanently removed, was the only severe damage. Because the church is over 400 years old, it has
    witnessed many important events in Philippine history throughout the Spanish period. The cathedral was sacked by
    British forces during the Seven Years War in 1762. In 1898, the Spaniards and Americans assembled at San Agustin
    Church to sign the surrender of Manila to the Americans.

    During World War II, Japanese forces used St Augustine Church in Manila as a prisoner detention camp. As the Battle
    of Manila ended in 1945, the Japanese took hundreds of priests and citizens hostage within the church. To clear
    Intramuros of the remaining Japanese, American and Filipino forces launched an air raid. Structures in the walled city
    were reduced to rubbles as a result, however the San Agustin Church Intramuros Manila remained standing, one of
    the few that survived the conflict undamaged.
