In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan travelled from Spain to the Philippines and brought with him a wooden cross. This is the cross that was planted in Cebu, known before as Sugbu. The cross symbolizes the colonization of the country in behalf of King Philip II of Spain.

The cross is preserved and encased in tindalo wood, mounted on a concrete pedestal and under the roof of a tiled-roofed kiosk. The roof is adorned with a painting depicting Ferdinand Magellan’s landing in Cebu and the planting of the cross.
