Museo Basilica Del Santo Niño, Cebu City

Museo Basilica Del Santo Niño - one of the very famous church and historical attractions in Cebu, it was found right in the downtown of the city in Colon area, in Cebu City.

Its architectural design and its front is in triangular, and has a plain pediment which it seems to be dictating its overall shape. In fact, there are pilasters projecting to the walls that are found in the front which create a vertical sections.

Inside of the church is through a rectangular door that was adorned with massive volutes above it, and a recessed niche of the patron formed by increasingly elevated arches of fluted pilasters.

While the other flanking sections have recessed arches built into them, which have an openings and lower rise.

And the bell tower is located in the side portion of the entrance gate, which gospel flank of open windows that in four-cornered wall partition and with red dome-shape roof.

And if you really want to get inside the premises, I advice you and be sure to wear the proper and prescribed clothing attire inorder to avoid non- entry, in fact, unprescribed dress code - is strictly no entry.

Then upon entering the church main door, which it has a replica of Jesus Christ nailed on the cross, and also the different replicas of saint displayed and that you have seen, inwhich it symbolizes faith in God and a true faith of Roman Catholic religion in the city which preserving the cycle of life.

You have seen also a miniature plan design of the church that incase with a glass and aluminum frame, which displayed in the left portion of the main door, and the historical painting above that commemorate the Spanish regime.

The church also displays a board of some of its mass schedules and other services offered just to gives a guide for visitors and devotees, which there was an offering boxes place in the lower portion, for visitors and devotees whom wanted to give a cash donations.

On its sidewalk, which it has a huge hallway passage for tourist, visitors, and devotees, and in my estimate calculation which its width measures almost 5-6 meters, which is enough to passes by a crowd of people and who wants to visit the church.

In the other entrance gate which you can see the pavilion of the Magellans Cross, in fact, an another tourist attraction which the city can offer if youre really in Cebu.

Within the vicinity, there was a designated police assistance table just to ensure the safety of the visitors and tourist coming, and inorder to maintain the peace and order situation of the place.

There was also a designated street that provides a parking space for motorcycles, which you will pay (0.35 US$ or 2.9 steem) for barkers, while for four wheel vehicles, you'll need to parked to designated proper parking areas.

So if youre really a tourist, so how to get this place? Best example and like in my case, which I'm coming from Lapu-lapu City and where Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) also situated.

I am going to ride a public utility transport (PUB) with a route of Mactan-Parkmall with a fare of (0.63 US$ or 5.2 steem), then ride again with PUB route Parkmall-Colon with a fare of (0.44 US$ or 3.6 steem) and drop-off in Manalili Street. And from there, the church is with a walking distance of 5-10 minutes and to reach the place.

Actually, there was a time schedule if you want to visit the church, and I'll advice you, better to have a local guide for safety purposes and at your convenience, and it is free to visit the church with no fees to pay, then observe silence and follow the rules if you are inside the church most specially if there was a mass.
