The Basilica of Sto. Nino, also called Basilica del Santo Nino, Basilica Minore del Santo Nino and formerly known as the San Agustin Church prior to its elevation as a Basilica Minore, is a 16th century in the heart of Cebu City, the Philippines. It is purportedly built on the exact spot where the image of the Santo Nino, a sculpture depicting Jesus as a black Holy Child, was found by Spanish conquistadors in 1565 preserved in a burned wooden box which was left behind during the 1521 Magellan expedition.
