Krus ni Magallanes

Ang Krus ni Magallanes o Krus ni Magellan (Ingles: Magellan's Cross) ay isang Kristyanong krus na tinanim ng mga manggagalugad na Portuges at Espanyol na pinangunahan ni Fernando de Magallanes nang marating nila ang Cebu sa Pilipinas noong Marso 15 , 1521 (depende sa pinagmulan).

Ang krus ay nasaloob ng isang kapilya katabi ng Basilica Minore del Santo Niño sa Kalyeng Magallanes, sa harapan lamang ng sentro ng Lungsod ng Cebu. Sa isang pananda sa ilalim ng krus ay nagsasaad na ang orihinal na krus ay nasa loob ng isang kahoy na krus na nasa gitnang bahagi ng kapilya. Ito ay upang protektahan ang krus mula sa mga taong tumatapyas ng bahagi ng krus para sa This is to protect the original cross from people who chipped away parts of the cross for subenir o naman sa paniniwala na milagroso ang krus. Ngunit naniniwala ang ilan, na ang orihinal na krus ay nawasak o nawala pagkatapos ng pagkamatay ni Magallanes at ang krus ay isang replika lamang na itinanim ng mga Espanyol matapos tuluyang masakop ng mga Espanyol ang Pilipinas.

Certainly a must-see landmark if you visit Cebu. Don't forget to at least light a candle if you come here and offer a little prayer.

Did you know: The original Magellan cross is encased inside the wooden cross found at the center of the chapel to protect from people chipping the wood as souvenir.

Well, not really miss half of your life. As with any trip & if ur Catholic it's always a good thing to visit a church first. The Basilica first then go straight and Magellan's Cross is right there.

The candle vendors know better how to angle your perfect shot at the cross. ???? Great for solo travelers like me! Just hand them a little tip for their kind effort.

The Cross in-cased in Tindalo wood, is not necessarily the original cross planted by Magellan. Antonio Pegafeta made mention that the natives as the Spaniards were leaving Cebu, chopped down the cross

The ladies who approach the tourists and ask them if they could pray/dance for the tourists' intentions are a bit disruptive. Instead of being able to just appreciate the site.
