One of the grandest and biggest churches in the city right in the heart of Binondo! While in the church, visit and say a prayer to the oldest relic in the Philippines, the Pronto Socorro. Then after church, explore the oldest Chinatown in the world! Old shops, yummy restaurants, Chinese drugstores and more, more food!

Another incredibly beautiful church with distinctive unique features that really makes it its own compared to many churches I have visited within my life. Being a Catholic Church in the world's oldest Chinatown!!! After you come visit this truly beautiful place, and even take a quick prayer. You can always find yourself eating at a really good local restaurant or find yourself exploring Chinatown with many of its shops.

In the middle of the old chinatown jungle is a historic beautiful cathedral. Wish the vicinity is less crowded and high rise towers beside which are eye soars.

Located in the middle of Manila Chinatown area, Binondo Church is one of the place that you must visit for sightseeing. The front and interior view is quite beautiful and you can see the touch of Chinese relics inside the building.

From the start to end, I had an amazing experience, I don't think there is a country with better hospitality than the Philippines in the world, they make you feel like a King or Queen, it's inexpensive everything, and I mean everything. I love that country and I love even more their people. May God bless the Philippines and his president, May God bless El Salvador and his president, May God bless United States, and guide ours politicians. Amen

It was a place of solace and solitude with our God.

Very beautiful church. we loved it!!!

Great homily and lots of big electric fans to air the place. Covid protocols followed. Audioman managed to adjust speakers' volume output when firetruck was making noist sirens.

A renowed Church right in Binondo Manila. Fanstastic architectural design and arts painted both from walls to high-up ceilings and boasts spacious floor and seating capacity due to thier huge real state area. Great place to enjoy quiet away from the busy streets of Binondo and to focus on your prayers with your family and loveones. They have thier own staff as well as they will guide you to follow thier health protocols and escort your to available seats to promote social distancing. Parking spaces is available at the sides of the property for your convenience too. Kindly give a LIKE 👍 if this helps! Follow ME for my other REVIEWS!

I think this is the 2nd time that I have visited this church, but it still wowed me. It's great that the church staff were strictly implementing the COVID-19 protocols (e.g. temperature checking, presentation of vaccination card, and accomplishing the contact tracing form. If you're considering to visit Binondo for a food trip, drop by this beautiful church.

Like many other churches in Manila, Binondo Church has already undergone reconstruction as a result of collateral damage from war. Of the present day design, only the octagonal belfry on the right is partly original from 1600's. It used to be formally known as the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, and is now. Minor Basilica of the Archdiocese of Manila while serving as the National Shrine of Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, in honor of his canonization in 1987 by JPII, who now also happens to be a saint himself. It has a narrow frontage but upon entering it, you'll bare witness to its grandness with the multiple frescoes on its ceilings that depict the mysteries of the holy rosary. The altar is also said to be a spitting image of the facade of the Saint Peter's Basilica. A church with long history, a church loved and cared for by the locals, a church rich in meaning and spirit, deserves to be inherited by generations to come.

Many Catholics believe this is a miraculous church. Sick, helpless people come here and ask God's grace and Power of healing. So far the Church are well maintained and so solemn due to the warm lighting.

It is a nice to visit before you embark into a food and culture trip in Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is a beautiful and well-maintained Catholic Church.

The people in the area were incredibly warm and hospitable, adding to the charm of the visit. The scenic beauty surrounding the Binod Church was a feast for the eyes, making it a perfect spot for those who appreciate nature alongside culture. I also learned about the historical significance of the church and how it's intertwined with Chinese culture, which added depth to my visit. Accessibility to the church was convenient, and I had no trouble reaching the location. It's definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone interested in exploring Chinese culture. If you plan your visit well, you might even catch one of the local cultural events or festivals, further enriching your experience. In summary, my visit to the Binod Church was an unforgettable experience, and it left me with a deep appreciation for Chinese culture. I can't wait to return and explore more of this fascinating world. Don't miss out on this hidden treasure! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Also known as the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of San Lorenzo Ruiz was established by the Dominicans and initially dedicated to Saint Gabriel the Archangel who became Binondo’s patron. It is also known as Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish as it venerates the Blessed Virgin Mary as Binondo’s patroness.

Not open always to public so havent seen the interior of the chruch nor attend mas on weekday night. Outside looks promising though with lights and decor for public

Visited there last palm sunday. We didn't get to attend the palm sunday mass but we witness the christening of these angelic babies. A beautiful church and a beautiful shelter for our beautiful soul.

Beautiful place of worship

Beautiful church in manila's chinese town. Parking is a challenge in the area. Great to explore the surroundings on foot.

Nostalgic and still the messy Manila we know. Love it!

Peaceful place,and the religious articles are affordable, i found here the St.Benedict ring very cheaper

(Translated by Google) It is a very historical place for citizens to relax. It's like an oasis in the hustle and bustle of Chinatown. (Original) とても歴史のある、市民の憩いの場です。 中華街の喧騒のなかにある、オアシスのような場所です。

I could go to pray

(Translated by Google) It is a cathedral that I wanted to visit once on the way from Divisoria to Quiapo on foot. (Original) 디비소리아에서 퀴아포로 도보로 이동도중 꼭한번 가보고싶었던 성당이다.. 한번쯤은 꼭 방문하세요.. 추천

I would like one day to pay homage to St. Lorenzo Ruiz. He serves as Altar Server. Many Chinese as well Filipinos have been converted to Christianity by Dominican Friars. Philippines is commemorating 500th years of Christianity 🙏🏻❤ St. Lorenzo of Manila, pray for Filipinos the grace of Faith, Fraternal love and Charity. Be our Protector 🙏🏻❤

Walked around Chinatown to catch a glimpse of the local activities. Found Binondo Church, the oldest church in Manila built around 1596. Its architectural influence came from the Baroque and Neo-Classical styles.

Impressive church that also incorporates Chinese culture. I loved seeing the art and statues and feeling the special atmosphere in this sacred place.

This church has a lot of history as well as a lot of patrons and visitors. This is one of the place I go to when I visit Binondo. This is a place of sanctuary and rest which we all need in these times of trying. Everybody is welcome!

My sisters and i planned to go to binondo on the eve of the chinese new year. We made the binondo church our first stop. I realized that i could not even remember the last time i went there. However, it was way different with the addition of san lorenzo ruiz and some improvements. It was well preserved and very clean. I was able to pray without any distractions. I also noticed how it became a tourist destination with the presence of some tourists who took pictures and videos of the church. Being one of the oldest churches, i hope it gets maintained and preserved.

Good place for reflection and praying. A vintage-looking church with a beautiful painted ceiling. Crowded with people, vendors, and public vehickes on the outside on the outside.

Great place for photo ops. Visited a week b4 d chinses new yr with co cyclists to avoid heavy traffic.

The place still the same after five so beautiful.

The facade of the Church has been renovated and its color has turned reddish. I like the old greyish, dark color before that makes the church looks more ancient.

Awesome place to worship the Lord!

Before the war, BINONDO Church was considered as one of the most beautiful churches in the country .. The church was burned during the British invasion of 1762 .. Improvements were further made in the 18th century but the edifice was again destroyed in the 1863 earthquake. It was rebuilt in the grandeur of what we see today .. and, as we explore the church surroundings, a magnificent crucifix is stationed at the entrance, amidst candle pits .. the baptismal chambers exudes the tranquility & sacred beauty tt is so calming .. From the beautiful paintings on the ceiling to the altar of the church tt has been described to be modeled after the St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, BINONDO Church, founded by Dominican priests in 1596, has been reconstructed so many times due to natural calamities .. only the Bell Tower is what remained of the original 16th century structure, tog w its classic architecture tt makes the church a wondrous sight .. A word of caution .. when visiting Chinatown,, be safe, be vigilant w yr belongings ..

cool

Every time i'll dgo to divisoria will drop by here to pray...happy that all my prayers was granted here😇

Because of the church

good service

A nice pic of the Church during Quarantine.

(Translated by Google) The only church in Binondo that can marry Chinese ... (Original) Isa syang simbahan sa Binondo na pwede magkasal ng Chinese...

One of the best church construction I have seen.

The church is now getting better, more stricter. Organizing people to avoid infecting the disease since pandemic. Hope to continue this way even the deadly is gone away.

Our family tried the "Binondo Wok" tour last Dec 2019. It cost php 1,700 for the half day tour (9am-12nn). It includes the historic tour around Binondo area, visit of highly suggested where-to-eat restos which you can eat-all-you-can as well. Good thing we went there mid-week on a holiday therefore, it was not crowded. I recommend the following: (1) bring eco bags if you opt to go fruit shopping, (2) attire - comfy shoes, hat & shades because you'll be waking around (3) SUNSCREEN ☀️ for sun protection (4) extra cash for shopping 💰 (5) bottled water at least 1L to keep you hydrated (6) fully charged mobile phone to take that awesome snapshots of the tour 📸 (7) towel or wet wipes & (8) extra shirt. I find the cost a bit pricey, so make sure to eat a lot! Hahaha.. or you can take-home some left overs (if you like) so be sure to bring that eco bag! Overall, it was a nice experience. The tour guide was very engaging and knowledgeable of the historical places.

It was closed when I visited it in June 2020. The exteriors are beautiful and well maintained.

I love it!❤️😍

first time to enter the church, though I've been wanting to get here ever since I saw this when we're passing from Quiapo. the feeling of calmness & peace once you enter the church.. plus the very beautiful design and art works.. It's great feeling to be here. Feeling blessed😇

Praise God🙏

The environment around is now safer than ever. If you're planning to shop around 168 and wanted to visit Binondo, just waze or google your directions towards the back of the mall. It can easily be find now and safer to walk because it is clean and organize. I still suggest not to withdraw your money, just bring cash.

Was a wonderful church..

(Translated by Google) The church is dedicated to the Filipino martyr of 1600 San Lorenzo Ruiz. It is located in the plaza San Lorenzo, where there is a statue of the saint. In front of the church, a beautiful fountain and a shrine to the Madonna. The church is a beautiful granite construction, built in the 1950s, after the original one of the Dominicans was destroyed several times by wars and earthquakes. It has an original style all its own, with the facade structured on three floors, with columns, niches with statues of saints and a balcony. It is flanked by an octagonal bell tower structured on 5 floors. I was unable to visit the interior due to the coronavirus. (Original) La chiesa è intitolata al martire filippino del 1600 san Lorenzo Ruiz. Si trova nella plaza san Lorenzo, dove c'è una statua al santo. Di fronte alla chiesa, una bella fontana ed una edicola alla Madonna. La chiesa è una bella costruzione di granito, realizzata negli anni 50, dopo che quella originale dei domenicani fu distrutta più volte da guerre e terremoti. E' di uno stile originale tutto suo, con la facciata strutturata su tre piani, con colonne, nicchie con statue di santi e un balcone. E' affiancata da un campanile ottagonale strutturato su 5 piani. Non ho potuto visitare l'interno, per via del coronavirus.

Very old chruch and there a museum

Historical

To God be the glory.

There is no vendor in the premises. Not commercialized

Beautiful church

(Translated by Google) Binondo church in Binondo district. The church was built during the Spanish rule and was built for the conversion of Chinese and Chinese Filipinos gathered in the Binondo district to Christianity. The Binondo area is said to be the oldest Chinatown in the world (Chinatown), and the mass of this church is held in Tagalog, English and Chinese.

Right at the heart of historic Binondo Manila. Beautiful architecture and very spacious.

This place already holds masses, but they've come up with a system to ensure social distancing. If you want to go there to light candles, I suggest you go before 4PM since the candle seller leaves early at times. The last mass is also around 4:30PM or 4:45PM

The church staff are all very kind & accommodating. They assisted me in getting a seat to attend mass & even escorted me when i didn't know where it was. Their office staff are also super nice & corteous. The church is always very clean.

There's a shrine I would go to during the feast of the first Filipino saint every September 28!

It's nice to everyone visit here.. They're following safety protocol

Beautiful church inside and out one of the best churches iv been to here in Philippines having covid19 regulations going in having a nice Sunday mass 🙏🙏🙏💕

Another place of solace and comfort for tired souls amid the busy streets of Binondo. You can feel the difference immediately as you enter the "Sacra Porta", a jubillee door in commemoration of the 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines. An added bonus was the pre-nup pictorial at the rotonda fronting the church. #bikesitaiglesia #bikepilgrimage

This is like a landmark in Binondo, the country's Chinese district in Metro Manila. Often used as a venue for weddings and other special occasions, this Church has been around for centuries and is often visited by both tourists and Church goers. There's no parking here

Such a historical place,,!!beautiful,,love it,,!!😍😍🙏

Bike bike bonding at night in cool breeze of manila, praising God for the blessed night.

A historic church in Binondo built by the Chinese Filipinos. This is the national shrine of the first Filipino Saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila. It is a huge beautiful church worthy of a visit.

First time visiting here and I’m in awe of huge it is inside. This church was founded in the 1500s but has been renovated over the course of time. Fun fact, this was where the Father of Philippine Revolution, Andrés Bonifacio got married!

A beautiful church! There are masses every 30 mins. Very near to divisoria and manila's food district.

Slightly underwhelming church after visiting different churches in Manila. But generally still a nice place to visit. The atmosphere is calm. There is also a small stall just at the entrance of the church where you can purchase candles for your prayers. Church is also near Chinatown where you can explore after visiting this place

My last visit is maybe 10 to 15 years ago and when I'm studying in Intramuros. A place where you can pray solemnly. Will visit again soon.

I am here, The church is located in Binondo District, Manila in front of Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz, in the Philippines. This church was founded by Dominican priests in 1596 to serve their Chinese converts to Christianity.

Beautiful church, very welcoming gave us hand sanitiser and showed us where to go, it was stunning inside and a great church to visit when near Chinatown, very interesting to see, really enjoyed our visit!

It's a beautiful church from the outside. Unfortunately, I couldn't get inside the church because I was running out of time. I visited many churches around Manila and all of them are magnificent.

Binondo Church is like an oasis in the middle of the heated and buzzing Chinatown. Wonderful architecture, a blend of Catholic and Chinese culture. Came here not long before they led the Angelus's prayer for all visitors, great experience

Haven't tried attending mass celebration here yet. Church looks good

We're just passing-by bit then the church was so wonderful. The surroundings were clean and busy streets.

Peaceful and Solemn! One of the oldest church in Manila. Binondo church is right next to Chinatown in Metro Manila where you can find Authentic Chinese cuisines.

Visited this church before going to our Binondo food trip. The location is quite strategic since almost all restos are just walking distance from this place.

This is one of the Philippines' iconic churches! The area has been through a lot of changes, but this church stood the test of time.

I love the architectural style of Binondo Church. And its color give a classic style of the Church. And it is amazing how detailed and artistic the inside design of the Church. It is Chinese Catholic Church. Near to everything like shops, malls, hotel and restaurants. There s also a lot of beggars outside the Church.
