Cemetery within San Agustin Church, Manila, Philippines. The Roman Catholic church under the auspices of the Order of Saint Augustine is located inside the historic walled city of Intramuros. It was completed in 1607 and it's the oldest stone church in the country. During the Japanese occupation during the Second World War, San Agustin Church became a concentration camp. In the final days of the Battle of Manila (1945), hundreds of Intramuros residents and clergy were held hostage in the church by Japanese soldiers with many hostages killed during the three-week-long battle. While the church sustained damage to its roof, the adjacent monastery was completely destroyed. In the 1970s the monastery was rebuilt as a museum under the design of architect Angel Nakpil.
