Target: UNESCO
Region: GLOBAL
Result:
I found out that the cross that stood there was a replica of the original, and thus, somewhat ineligible for the commendation.
Background (Preamble):
The Magellan's Cross is located in Cebu City, in the Republic of the Philippines.
On April 21, 1521, Portuguese and Spanish explorers, upon orders by Ferdinand Magellan, planted this beautiful artifact of Christianity (specifically Roman Catholicism) in the Philippines.
