Before visiting the Church, it would be wise to read up on the history of the building and its contents, as little guidance is provided within the Church. There is a pamphlet handed out when you enter (entrance fee: 100 pesos) that provides some detail, but I found myself walking around and thinking, "Hm, I bet that has an interesting... More

It is surprising, but this is one of the heritage structures that survived all the destructive earthquakes that ravaged Manila and of course World War 2, during the liberation of Manila. The museum of this church contains a wealth of historical information and is highly recommended. I cannot help but admire the tenacity of the Augustinian order in spreading the... More

What a church!!! considering its beauty inside and the treasures it has tucked in. I do not understand why everytime i happen to be in the area... it is always close...what a waste What a waste... If the Intramuros Admin could be given more government support they can make this place useful yet tourist will flock and earn more for... More

This is known to be the oldest Church built and still standing in the Philippines. I was lucky to have the chance to enter the Church and the museum alongside it. The tiled floors of the church are clean and glowing, but as you walk farther you'll see them change into gravestones of prominent people who have lived during the... More

if you actually find a day when there's no wedding... you'd enjoy this church. i can easily imagine myself back in the spanish era with the look and feel of this church -- such opulence and majesty! not very conducive to prayer when there's a scheduled wedding though... (yes, this is a popular venue) as it could get distracting, even... More

Beautiful church, one of the oldest church in Manila. I have only got a chance to took photos outside the church, because at the entrance of the church you will see a sign that tourist are not allowed inside the church to take pictures. During the time I visited San Agustin there's a wedding inside, also they are celebrating their... More

Was roaming around Intramuros one afternoon and curiously walked in on someone's wedding. Nobody seemed to care, and didn't mind that we snapped a few pictures before we left. People are just really friendly here. It's beautiful, and should be a part of your itinerary when you are in Intramuros. Don't miss it!

I drop by San Agustin during my last visit in Intramuros. If you're exploring Intramuros for a cultural tour/visit then include San Agustin church in your "MUST TO SEE LIST". Inside the church resides a museum and a courtyard that will bring you back to the old times. You can see some items that we're recovered after the world war... More

Some travelers slam this site and indicate that the museum is a rip off. I could not disagree more. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a huge building with a lovely inner cloister that you get to walk around. The museum has some wonderful examples of wood carvings of saints that date back many centuries. There are... More
