There are far more heavily publicised attractions, and others that have perhaps greater historical significance - but in my opinion this is the all round best in the city.

I like historical sites, and this one has plenty to offer. Genuine, and a great photo opportunity. Not commercialized, and right in the city of Cebu, it is worth a visit.
