About San Ignacio

San Ignacio

San Ignacio Church is a historic building located in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines. It was designed for the Jesuits by Filipino architect Félix Roxas Sr., and the building was completed in 1899. Its interiors, embellished with carvings, had been designed by Isabelo Tampinco. The church was known as the "sueño dorado" or the "golden dream" by the Jesuits. It was destroyed during the Battle of Manila in 1945 near the end of World War II, with only its shell remaining. The church building was reconstructed in the late 2000s without the original ornaments, along with its adjoining Casa Misión Convent. It eventually became the home of the Centro de Turismo Intramuros, while the mission house became the site of the Museo de Intramuros.
