Nuestra Senora de Gracia Church Basic information Location Bernardino Street, Guadalupe Viejo, Makati City, Metro Manila Geographic coordinates 14°33′59″N 121°02′36″E / 14.566438°N 121.043333°E Affiliation Roman Catholic District Archdiocese of Manila Ecclesiastical or organizational status Parish church Architectural description Architectural type Church Architectural style Baroque Groundbreaking 1601 Completed 1629 Specifications The Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church is a baroque Roman Catholic church located in one of the oldest parishes in Makati City, Philippines. The parish church and its adjacent monastery are currently administered by the Augustinian friars of the Province of Sto. Niño de Cebu. Its neighborhood include the Loyola Memorial Chapel, the Laperal compound, and the Guadalupe Minor Seminary.
The church is a mixture of different architectures due in part to the fact that it had to be partially rebuilt and restored once in 1882 after an earthquake, and again in 1894 after fighting between the US and Filipinos. [1]
The church is one of the most popular wedding venues in Metro Manila.[2][3]
