Description
2017 vs 2020
In commemoration to the Feast of Immaculate Conception and the 62nd Dedication Anniversary of the 8th Manila Cathedral, this is my comparison of my pen drawings of the 7th structure of Manila Cathedral (2017 and 2020).
7TH MANILA CATHEDRAL (1879-1945)
The Metropolitan Cathedral - Basilica of Manila(or Manila Cathedral) is the official headquarters of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila dedicated to the Blessed Mary as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, the Principal Patroness of the Philippines. It is located inside the Walled City of Intramuros, Manila, Philippines. This version of Manila Cathedral was built on 1879 designed by Vicente Serrano y Salaveri using the Romanesque-Byzantine architectural design, characterized by having vaulted ceilings, semi-circular arches, and rose windows. The bell tower (that survived from natural forces) was incorporated to that design. Manila Cathedral then was one of the main venues for International Eucharistic Congress in the 30s. Unfortunately, during the Liberation of Manila, the church was heavily damaged - only the façade and walls remained.
After that, the ruins were neglected and it was originally intended to be demolished, but due to the initiative of a Manila citizen, the Manila Cathedral ruins were saved. And through the efforts of Cardinal Rufino Santos, the citizens of Manila, and Architect Fernando Ocampo, Manila Cathedral, the present cathedral rose again to its ashes. It was rebuilt around 1954 to 1958 incorporating the previous design, but with some modifications. Today, we can still see the church's beauty and elegance and still preserved for the next generations to come.
