Jubilee Church of Rome












The Jubilee Church, formally known as Dio Padre Misericordioso, is a church and community center in Tor Tre Teste in Rome

The church sits on a flat, triangular site in Tor Tre Teste (named for a bas relief of three heads carved in a medieval guard tower dating back to the 4th Century) about six miles east of central Rome. It is adjacent to a lower/middle-income housing complex built in the 1970s on the boundary of a public park.

The color palette and materials in the Jubilee church is restrained and beautiful: traditional Roman travertine; more recently-Roman smooth, white concrete, invented for the Olympic Stadium in Rome in 1960 and created by Italcementi; and light wood panelling and pews.

The proportions of the complex are based on a series of displaced squares and four circles. Three circles of equal radius generate the profiles of the three shells that, together with the spine-wall, make up the body of the church nave – and discretely imply the Holy Trinity.

Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral!














Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral
is the ecclesiastical seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cebu. It was established as a diocese in August 14, 1595 and was elevated as a metropolitan archdiocese in April 28, 1934. The construction of the church took long due to lack of funds and some unexpected events like the death of the incumbent bishop who spearheaded the construction and some vacancies in the office. The architecture of the church is typical with thick walls to withstand typhoon and other calamities.
