This famous church dates back to the early Spanish colonial era. The Church was founded by the Augustinian friars since their arrival in 1565. You could also find in the church the miraculous image of Sto. Nino (Child-Jesus).

I really loved the place! I like how everthing was well preserved and taken care of. The museum showcased a lot of historical events and facts, and kept the antiques in place. Also, the tour guides were really accomodating and were very knowwledgeable.

Must visit while in Cebu - even better than Ayala centre in Manila!! Ayala's point of difference is high quality without jamming as much commercial shops into the property as possible. Instead, they leave space and existing trees and landscape it so there is a large tranquil space, the Terraces, to relax and get away from all the hustle of a big city Great mall shopping and the highlight is the Terraces with space in the shade to relax and enjoy looking at the big trees, shrubs and waterfalls. It has the usual variety of food outlets, national & local.

It is a historical site. However, the entry road on a narrow side street looked dirty and after entry to the 1730 Jesuit House wondered it was a old hardware crap store. But that is ground level. They collect a entrance fee of 50 pesos. I am not sure, it includes a guide, but a girl guide came to explain about the Jesuit House. It is wooden made two storey house. The house was once the residence of the Jesuit superior who was assigned in Cebu. The two-storey house has cut coral stone walls, tugas hardwood floors and posts, and terracotta roof connected on its second floor by a walkway to a smaller house. The house has a small library, a chapel, and some rooms. The house has a lot of old items like piano, sewing machine, projector, type writer, for music, radio, phone, lighting, etc, etc. It is difficult to find such old items at one place, therefore it is a must visit in Cebu. Can spent more than 30 minutes here. The attractions "1730 Jesuit House", "Yap Sandiego Ancestral House" and "Cebu Heritage Monument" are located at less than a minutes walk.
7. Simala Shrine

Simala Shrine tour was really not part of our itinerary, but since my mother can't make a 30min walk to Kawasan falls, we went here instead. As we approach the gate, we were amazed as we see its castle-like facade, with arcaded corridors, aqueduct-like bridge connecting the garden to the shrine. The structure is also PWD-friendly, with ramps placed everywhere. Inside the shrine was a chapel, a praying area where colored candles lit, and a museum where testimonies of healed and answered prayers are kept and displayed. By the way, before going inside, bear in mind that proper attire is strictly implemented. Men wearing sando or tank top with shorts and slippers, and women wearing spaghetti straps, with very short shorts and slippers are not allowed. But if you're already worn shorts, don't worry! There are vendors outside the gate that will let you rent their shawls for Php20! If you're a Marian devotee and for Catholics who are "sagrado katoliko" I really recommend visiting the place. It will make your faith stronger as you see the evidences of the healed and answered prayers, and the people offering candles, roses and prayers to the pictures, portraits and sculptures of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Reviewed By profits101 - Cebu City, Philippines
I first began to notice this mid-size church, built in 1933, from taxis when I passed by. People were very reverent, crossing themselves if they were on the sidewalk, and it was always open for services. The location, near universities and a large urban population in Colon makes it very ideal. And there is something about it - those big wide doors, open-air to the side courtyards, and the many masses being read and sung that reaches out and provides a comforting island in the busy city. They hold almost hourly masses on weekdays and weekends, with the earliest service starting at 5 a.m. and the latest at 7 p.m.
