EDITORS COMMENTS
Magellan's Kiosk, Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines (circa 1925) This evocative photograph captures the historic Magellan's Kiosk in Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines. The kiosk, built in the 1920s, is a significant landmark that houses the Magellan's Cross, a revered relic brought by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan during his expedition to the Philippines in 1521. The image showcases the kiosk's intricate architectural details, including its tiled roof and pantiles, which are reminiscent of Spanish colonial influence. The cross, which is prominently displayed at the center of the kiosk, is surrounded by a horse-drawn carriage and horses, adding to the old-world charm of the scene. The photograph also reveals the bustling street scene surrounding the kiosk, with people going about their daily business. The buildings in the background, with their ornate facades and wrought-iron balconies, add to the rich tapestry of the East Asian cityscape. Magellan's Kiosk is a testament to the Philippines' rich history and cultural heritage, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1920s and the era of Magellan's historic voyage to the Pacific.
