St. Augustine's Church is characterised by reliefs on stones, which are meticulous and realistic. When we arrived in the square in the morning, there were many Filipino students, teams and some foreigners gathered at the door to take pictures. They were very happy adoptive children. At that time, few people who saw them did not visit the square. Only when they came back, they found that there were other holes in the square. They regretted that they had some chance to go in and have a look!! There are paintings on the ceiling and walls inside the church, with Augustine and Jesus in the middle. The ashes of prominent Philippine officials of all ages are buried in churches, with the year of the deceased carved on the floor. The most distinctive tropical feature is the long exposure of branch lamps and bright sunlight to stained glass.

    The St. Augustine Cathedral in Manila, Philippines, consists of two parts: chapel and monastery. The Baroque chapel is the architectural essence of the entire St. Augustine, while the monastery is partly a museum, with a large collection of precious items such as French clothes, the Holy Grail of gold, silver crosses, ivory statues, silk mantles embroidered with gold threads and oil paintings. The focus of this article is on the organ inside the church, which is rare to see. As a world historical and cultural heritage, St. Augustine's Cathedral has also experienced the destruction of war, and many precious collections have been lost in successive wars. After World War II, St. Augustine was rebuilt. The church and the First Abbey restored the appearance of the year, and in 1965, to commemorate 400 years of Catholic transmission in the Philippines, St. Augustine exhibited photographs of hundreds of churches built across the country between the 16th and 19th centuries, which spawned the idea of creating a museum. Since then, St. Augustine has continuously collected various precious cultural relics lost in the wars and displayed in the monastery for public viewing. Today, St. Augustine is not only a church, a monastery, but also a museum that collects many Filipino and Spanish art treasures. It is an important place to display the historical and cultural treasures of the Philippines and is worth visiting. I feel that it is not enough to spend a whole day.

    Church listed in the World Heritage List. The building is magnificent, ornate, with colorful glass and sculptures on both sides of the large corridor. This church has experienced war, earthquakes and many natural disasters, and has been rebuilt and repaired many times, and is still brilliant.

    The Church of St. Augustine in France is located in the "Little Poland" area of Paris' 8th District. It belongs to the Catholic Church. It was built from 1860 to 1871 and was designed and built by architect Victor • Balta de (Victor Baltard) . The building blends Roman and Byzantine art with an 80-meter-high blast furnace. A unique eclectic style is formed. The structure is 300 feet long (91 m) and 240 feet wide (73 m). During the Second Empire, the area experienced considerable construction work and population movements, when Baron Ottoman presided over the reconstruction of Paris, with many straight-line streets and brilliant buildings. The facade of the church is decorated with François Josefloy( FrangoisJoutfroy), depicting Jesus and the twelve apostles above the four evangelicals. Inside, stained glass windows depict the bishops and martyrs of the 1st century, and cast iron pillars decorated with colorful angels.
