inside this house of coral stones and tisa, the legendary cross of Magellan
The highlight of my journey here in Cebu is being here, where Magellan planted his cross, forever changing our island nations history. Although there has been some questions raised about the authenticity of the Cross, if it was the one Magellan planted, the site is without a doubt one of the most important site in Filipino history [it is the official city symbol of Ciudad de Cebu].
The place marks the establishment of Catholicism in the land, what started in Bohol was continued here – and decades later would prove to be a success, creating a state with Catholicism and Madre Espana as its early foundation.
