Landmarks & Monuments

Manila’s architectural landscape is defined by its historic churches, ancestral homes, and national monuments. This collection features the all-steel Neo-Gothic San Sebastian Church and the Art Deco Quezon Memorial Shrine. It highlights significant sites of the People Power Revolution, including the EDSA Shrine and People Power Monument. The list also preserves the heritage of Quiapo through the Bahay Nakpil-Bautista and Times Theater, alongside the neoclassical Jones Bridge and the Sentinel of Freedom monument dedicated to Lapu-Lapu.
