San Ignacio’s Retablo Mayor
Bild von bleak!
San Ignacio was one of the last churches to be built in Intramuros. The church was designed by Filipino architect, Felix Roxas, whilst Its interior was furnished by Isabelo Tampinco and other Filipino sculptors. It was completed in 1889.
Sadly, like almost all of Intramuros’ churches, it was destroyed in WWII. It was said that the church burned for days because of the many woodworks its interior had.
Only the Church of San Pablo (San Agustin) survived the Rape of Manila.
sayang talaga.so glad you posted this. so this was the grandeur…
Sayang nga talaga Shubert. But, all is not lost. The ruins are still there. I really do think that the Intramuros Administration should at least rebuild the building and then as the years go by, recreate the interior. It’s doable. We have plenty of wood carvers and craftsmen that could do this.
beautiful indeed…… bleak, thnx for sharing this photo…..
HUWAWWWWWW!!! ayun yung peaña ubod ng kay ganda!!!
cnung nakalagay sa gitna??
Mark, yup. popular na popular dati
Kevin, Si San Ignacio de Loyola mismo.
Beautiful!!!
Wasn’t San Ignacio Church gorgeous???!!!
It was! I can just imagine the marvelous woodworks! I wonder how it must’ve smelled like inside!
but i think not everything is destroyed…..probably some are salvaged by people around after the bombing and made it their own….. all things are possible….
Is that an image of St. Ignatius in the main niche? There is a very similar statue in the Ateneo Loyola School of Theology’s oratory. I’ll try to find a picture of it so I can compare; but the resemblance is really striking. Also, some of the hardwood furnishings of the church, including a beautiful molave backdrop for the image of the Immaculate Conception, managed to survive; it has been on display in AdMU’s Rizal Library for quite some time now. In any case, San Ignacio was, and still is, a very beautiful church!
the Iglesia de San Ignacio, is most famous for its artesonado ceiling, designed by Isabelo Tampinco himself.
Kevin, there are rumors that the altar survived the devastating fire and is now in private hands. hmm, kung totoo man, na kanino kaya? hmmm.
Vultus, yes, that is San Ignacio indeed. The one in Ateneo is indeed similar to this one.
Becco, true that!
bleak: there is really a possibility…. evendo people are not yet still aware about the value of this antiques, im deffinitely sure there are personalities in those days who are very much interested(unlike today)….. kung hindi man yung buong altar, there maybe pieces of it scattered all around manila today or elsewhere together with others from different churches within intramuros….. i also believe that the peana of the virgen of la naval ( or the ivory heads of the angels) still exists….. it is very possible….
…. a sad sad chapter of our nation’s history ! …..
yes indeed butch.
syang talaga ang san ignacio… i wonder why the jesuits didn’t bother to rebuild… kaya nga nilang magtayo ng Gesu mano ba namang gastusan rin nila ang san ignacio nandun pa rin nman ng guho ng simbahan… sayang din ang imahen ni san ignacio
San ignacio Church is the only evidence for Canonization of our Grand foundress MOTHER IGNACIA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO foundress of RVM congregation because the remains of the foundress was there after WWII bombings the remains of the foundress cannot found.
I thought her remains were lost when the first Jesuit church in Manila was abandoned and when the Jesuits were expelled from the archipelago.
i read this article in inquirer and remembered this pic you posted. i think this is the same church in the article.
this is good news.
"…Thus, IA is now undertaking a grand project no less than the reconstruction of San Ignacio Church and Convent, based on extant photographs taken before it was bombed out during the war.
"As soon as the papers are finalized, the cornerstone will be laid this year. Construction is projected to be finished in two years. And soon we will be seeing these pieces in a house of worship where they, of course, belong. "
read the complete article here.
cheers to the intramuros administration!
i read the article yung i rereconstruct museum pala ang function at hindi church sayang
Is this the one at Arsobispo St in Etramuros??>
I live in front of this Church … yet have never entered it.
Considered as the most beautiful interior of all churches in Intramuros.
All wood carvings ang ceiling, makakatalo lang dito ay ang mga upuan ng Santo Doming Church.
Intramuros Administration together with the Jesuit father will reconstruct the Iglesia de San Ignacio and will be the house of the Intramuros collection of colonial art.
Wala nang tao sa intramuros, di na nila kailangan ng isa pang simbahan. It will also house a school of colonial art. Pagaaralan dito ang sculpture, pukpok ng mga pilak, painting in tin, lahat ng mga naituro ng mga Kastila na Likhang Sining. And this school will be funded by the Spanish Heritage Ministry.
Yan ang galing Bambi Harper.
The project is worth 200 million pesos.
wow i wonder who they will commission to recreate the magnificent altar major of the san ignacio…. and i do hope that even it is a museum and a school a portion could still be used as an oratory….

NOTE : This San Ignacio above is a different chgurch where Madre Ignacia was burried. The first San Ignacio was located in the PLM vicinity.
This is the old Jesuit church that preceded the church of San Ignacio. Long abandoned since the late 1700s.
For the above posting –
That was actually the 3rd Church of San Ignacio. The church was damaged beyond repair by the earthquake of 6 September 1852.
A turn of the century photograph shows the damaged church façade, the flanking bell towers and the nave’s lower floor as the only structures still standing.
Later, the church site was used as a military barracks, the Cuartel de España, and subsequently quarters of the 31st American Infantry. When the Jesuits began building the second San Ignacio in 1879, they were authorized to use the stones of the old church for the foundation of the new one they were building.
Apparently nothing much was left to be destroyed by war.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Intramuros of Memory, and we’d love to have this added to the group!

Last time I was there – St Ignacio Church was this
San Ignacio is on what street? I love Intramuros. It reminds me of my late grandfather who was an interno in Letran in the 1920s. I also went to Letran when I was in college.
The San Ignacio Church that existed in Intramuros in front of where I used to live in 1940 was the one in Calle Arzobispo – the remains of which is the one shown above photo of which was taken in May, 2006 when I revisited the place where I used to live
