- Title - San Marcelino Church
|
| General Note |
- General note - The ruins of the Paulist Church on San Marcelino Street in Ermita, after the battle for Manila in 1945. Aside from the structure's having been the target of American artillery shelling, Japanese soldiers who took a stand against the liberation behind its walls set fire to the interior as an act of desperation. The Japanese also massacred the Vincentian Fathers residing in the adjacent convent and threw their bodies into the nearby Estero de Balete. San Marcelino Church was built in the 1920s.
