According to the history that the original cross has been destroyed or had been disappeared after Magellan's death and the current cross is a replica of the original cross planted.
If you want a scenic view of the entire Cebu City, I recommend you to stay at Crown Regency hotel and towers. It is located in Fuentre Osmena beside Robinsons Mall. Panoramic view of the City can be seen at the rooftop and a Sky Adventure with edge roller coasters and many more exciting and breathtaking activities.
Another good hotel to stay in with in Cebu City is Diplomat Hotel in Cebu City. It is located in F. Ramos Street, Cebu City just a few blocks away from Robinsons Mall, Fuente Osmena. Walking distance also to Mango Avenue - the place for different entertaining clubs, videokes, foods and drinks.







I have heard so much about this Ferdinand Magellan in the Philippine History and that he really made a mark.
