Magellan's Cross was installed by the Spanish explorer upon arriving in Cebu in the Philippines in 1521. This cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño just in front of the city hall of Cebu City. Some people believe that the original cross was destroyed or had disappeared after Magellan's death, and the cross is a replica that was planted there by the Spaniards after they successfully colonized the Philippines. Magellan's Cross is a symbol of Cebu.
