Magellan’s Cross is a wooden cross erected as ordered by the Portuguese navigator and explorer who discovered Cebu, Ferdinand Magellan. The cross proudly represents Cebu and became a symbol of the Catholicism of the entire country.

The cross can be found in the very center inside the small chapel outside the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino. Both the church and the chapel are located in the Magallanes Street (which is the Spanish translation of Magellan), fronting the Cebu City Hall.
