Magellan's Cross, Cebu City - Cebu Tourist Attraction

Magellan's Cross is one of the top-tourist destination in Cebu City. It is located at the back of Santo Niño Church. History said that, when Magellan first set foot on Cebu Island, he put a cross on the shore as a sign and a beginning of Christianity in the Philippines. 

As hearsay, the original cross that was planted by the Spanish Explorer was kept inside the Basilica to preserve.

Many people also come here not just for picture taking but some tourists are catholics, they would just light a candle outside of this cross and say their own prayer.

Devotees and Candle Vendors wear their red and white uniforms can also perform a Sinulog dance with Prayer offered by you---or your family to our Holy Child, Sr. Santo Niño. 

You can also ask the Candle Vendors to take you a good picture. Don't worry, they take good pictures as if they are Trained to do so. You won't regret it.
