An image update of the restoration of the famous Jesuit San Ignacio Church in the walled city of Intramuros.
The government is behind this project, so let us not keep our hopes up that the Church would be restored to its original grandeur, or that proper ecclesiastical traditions regarding architecture would be observed.
Of course, do not expect the Jesuits to make sure the beauty that was San Ignacio is brought back. They preferred to build the monstrosity that is The Church of the Gesù instead.
What can we expect and what do we want to expect from the return of San Ignacio?
Post your answers!
I have read from some flickr forums that it will be used as a museum...
