San Sebastian Church is a stunning example of Gothic Revival architecture in Manila, notable for being constructed entirely of steel. Prefabricated in Belgium in the late 19th century, the church was shipped and assembled in the Philippines. Its steel structure, painted to resemble stone, features soaring spires, pointed arches, and intricate stained glass windows. Visitors are awed by the airy, light-filled interior and the detailed ironwork. The church is also home to a museum displaying religious artifacts and historical documents.
