Quiapo Church

Quiapo Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes; because of this the church is sometimes referred to as the "Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene". The foundations of the church was built in 1582 and survived the devastation of World War II despite surrounding builings being completely destroyed. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928.
