Cebu City is an important cultural Center in the Philippine island. The City's most famous landmark is Megallan's cross. This cross, now housed in a chapel, was supposedly planted by Ferdinand Magellan when he arrived in the Philippine Islands in 1521.
It was encased in hollow tindalo wood in 1885 upon the order of the Augustinian Bishop Santos Gomez Maranon to prevent devotees from taking it home chip by chip.
