Summary

Description
English: The interior of San Sebastian Church in Manila, Philippines, is a breathtaking display of neo-Gothic architecture, filled with intricate details and historic charm. The main altar is a focal point, adorned with gilded statues and elaborate carvings. It is crowned by a towering retablo, a structure that features statues of saints and intricate woodwork, adding a sense of grandeur and reverence. The altar's golden tones stand out, enhanced by warm lighting that illuminates the sacred space. Above, the church’s ceiling rises with pointed arches and ribbed vaulting, typical of Gothic architecture, drawing the eye upward in a powerful visual display. The ceiling itself is painted in soft, sky-like blues and greens with touches of gold, decorated with floral patterns and religious iconography that lend a sense of peace and transcendence. The interior’s steel columns and beams—unique in their construction, as San Sebastian Church is one of the only all-steel churches in Asia—are painted to resemble marble, blending with the church’s ethereal beauty while providing robust support. Sunlight streams through stained-glass windows along the walls, casting colorful reflections across the interior and enhancing the spiritual ambiance of this historic Philippine landmark.
