The Binondo Church, also known as the Minor Basilica of St. Lorenzo Ruiz and Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, is located in Manila in front of Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz. It was founded in 1596 by Dominican priests to serve Chinese converts to Christianity, though the original building was destroyed in 1762. A new granite church was completed on the same site in 1852 but was damaged during World War II, with only the western facade and bell tower surviving. Important figures like Saint Lorenzo Ruiz were baptized in the church's baptistry.
