Notes
Binondo Church is located in the Binondo district of Manila, fronting Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz. The church was founded by Dominican priests in 1596 to serve their Chinese converts to Christian. The original building was destroyed in 1762 by British bombardment. A new granite church was completed on the same site in 1852 however it was greatly damaged during the Second World War, with only the western façade and the octagonal belfry surviving.
