This photo from 1945 shows the destroyed interior of the Manila Cathedral after the Battle of Manila during World War II. The liberation of Manila resulted in the destruction of the city’s architectural and cultural heritage, including places of worship. The Manila Cathedral was destroyed when Japanese forces set it on fire, and was further damaged by American artillery and mortar shelling. The modern-day Manila Cathedral was completed in 1958. #ThrowbackThursday #IntramurosOfMemory #LoveIntramu
