Here is the facade of the Basilica de Sto. Niño. When we were there, since it was fiesta time, there were plenty of banderitas outside of the church. My friend, Jen, liked the eight statues, four on each side that stood like they were watching over us or guarding us from some danger coming from the heavens.
There are some interesting paintings inside the Basilica de Sto. Niño, located mainly in the hallway that squares off the new courtyard just beside the church. Here are some of the interesting paintings I saw there.

| This is my most favorite painting of the lot. See how handsome the priest is! |

| There is now a 'prayer area' in front of the church where people can light a candle and offer a prayer. |
At the end of these rows of candles is a 3D mural of how the Sto. Niño was brought here to Cebu.
It's easy to find Magellan's Cross. You can just say that to the taxi driver and they will bring you right to it. I suggest you visit it first before you visit the Sto. Nino Church.

| An Ariel balloon puts a funny twist into this historical mural on the ceiling of the Magellan's Cross. |
