Malate Church, formally known as the Our Lady of Remedies Parish, is a historic Baroque-style church located in the Malate district of Manila, Philippines. Built by the Augustinian friars in the late 16th century, it is dedicated to Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, the patroness of childbirth. The church has withstood numerous earthquakes and wars, including significant damage during World War II, yet it remains a significant cultural and religious landmark. Its facade features a blend of Muslim and Mexican architectural influences, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the Philippines.
