Durano Foundation Compound 5.17.09

the first weekend after we arrived from a long vacation in Isla Ticao we went for a weekend vacation in Danao, one of the oldest cities in the country. before we headed out to the resort where we stayed in, we strolled first the city and we stopped by in one of the lasting legacies of Duranos...the Ramon Durano Foundation Compound. the place of a 2 hectare religious monument where you can see the Catholic church and amazingly built busts and statues of of all of the saints and popes from the early 200 AD all the way to those in the 1900s. a 14 small white buildings and huts which house the different station of the cross. you can found also the lifesize statues of the Holy Family, the Nativity scene, Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, and the Calvary Rock they say came all the way from Jerusalem.

though you can see the evidence that the place has not been kept very well, still the place is totally breathtaking, clearly one of the site you mustn't missed to visit when you happen to be here in Cebu.
