Magellan's Cross is a Christian cross planted by Portuguese, and Spanish explorers as ordered by Ferdinand Magellan upon arriving in Cebu on April 21, 1521.
 |
| This cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño on Magallanes Street, just in front of the city center of Cebu City. |
 |
| As you see the cross stands tall as it is encased in a wood to protect it from those who chipped away parts of it and to protect its holiness. |
 |
| A sign below the cross says that the original cross is encased inside the wooden cross that is found in the center of the chapel. |
