Top 5 Lenten Pilgrimage Sites in Manila | Visita Iglesia Guide | Kaalaman Studios

This Lenten season, one of the most meaningful Catholic traditions among Filipinos is Visita Iglesia — the practice of visiting seven churches as a form of sacrifice, prayer, and reflection. In this video by Kaalaman Studios, we feature the Top 5 Lenten Pilgrimage Sites in Manila — churches that are not only rich in history but also conveniently close to each other, making them perfect for a one-day spiritual journey.

We begin our pilgrimage at the Manila Cathedral, the premier church of the Catholic Church in the Philippines, located at the heart of Intramuros. Next, we head to the San Agustin Church, the country’s oldest stone church and a proud UNESCO World Heritage Site. From there, we visit the stunning San Sebastian Basilica in Quiapo — the only all-steel church in all of Asia. Of course, no pilgrimage in Manila is complete without the Quiapo Church, home to the revered Black Nazarene and a center of devotion for millions of Filipinos. Finally, we stop by the Sta. Cruz Church, a historic and spiritual landmark just steps away from the vibrant streets of Binondo.

Each church featured in the video holds unique stories of faith, trials, and service. You'll also see a variety of architectural styles — from Romanesque Revival to Neo-Gothic to Baroque — reflecting our nation's rich heritage and artistic spirit.

This video serves as a helpful guide for those planning a meaningful Visita Iglesia within the city of Manila. Perfect for anyone looking to take a short yet spiritually fulfilling pilgrimage this Holy Week.

Watch the full video, reflect, and feel the presence of faith in every church you visit.
