Basilica Minore Del
Santo Niño
The Basilica del Santo Nino, or commonly known as Santo Niño Basilica, is one of
the most popular landmarks you should never miss out when in Cebu. Founded in
1565 as the oldest Roman Catholic church in the country, it was believed to be built
over the spot where the most famous religious icon in the Philippines, the statue of
the Santo Niño de Cebú was found. This image of the Child Jesus dates to
Magellan's time and now the centrepiece of Sinulog Festival, the Cebu's largest
annual event. Besides admiring the intricate frescoes and interior of the church,
visitors can also enjoy time at the Pilgrim Center and Basilica del Sto. Niño
Museum with many relics and statues in exhibit.
How To Get There
If you’re already in Cebu City, you can easily reach
the basilica by taxi, ride-sharing service, or public
transportation.
Taxi or Ride-Sharing: Simply provide the address “Basilica
Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu” to your taxi driver or input it into
your ride-sharing app. This is the most convenient and direct
option.
Jeepney: Jeepneys are a popular mode of public transportation
in Cebu. Look for a jeepney route that passes through or near the
basilica. The route signs should indicate “Basilica Minore” or
“Sto. Niño.” You can ask locals for guidance as well.
Walking: If you’re staying in the downtown area of Cebu City,
the basilica may be within walking distance. However, be
prepared for warm and humid weather. Use a map or a navigation
app to guide you.
