History
[edit]The Third Order of the Franciscans Church was a church for the lay branch of the Franciscans, known as the Third Order. The original structure was a small chapel completed in 1618. It was later renovated and enlarged in 1734.[1]
The church sustained damages during the earthquakes in the 1800s, and was later rebuilt with twin towers added.[2] In 1935, the Historical Research and Markers Committee, now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines,[3] installed a historical marker on the site.[4]
The church was destroyed during the 1945 Battle of Manila. The site is currently occupied by Mapua University.[1]
