Danao is one of the oldest cities in the country. It is a growing industry hub in northern Cebu and it is the home of the famous Durano family.
Highway to Danao (Northern Cebu)
The rocky beaches of Danao. A very relaxing view.
One of the many industry giants in Danao City - Mitsumi Phils.
Now, as you drive through Danao, you will notice a huge piece of land, which the Durano Family used to build a huge church and a mausoleum for the patriarch.
The place is totally breathtaking. And clearly, the people behind this project shelled out a fortune to create such an amazing masterpiece.
If you notice this church, you’re in the right spot.
You will see the life-size last-supper scene complete with all the disciples.
Of course, you will also see a life-size statue of Jesus.
You will also see the Holy Family.
If you notice those small ‘huts’, they are kiosks which house the different ’stations of the cross’.
You will also see the Nativity Scene.
There is another depiction of the last supper inside a dome.
You also get to see the busts of hundreds of saints and/or popes.
Each bust contains the name of the pope/saint.
Jesus with a cross, on top of the Last Supper dome.
Jesus in the garden.
Check the place out!
I love Danao! I used to go there when I was young
because my late father & late sister used to work for them. My older sisters used to party with the son, they tugged me along with them. =) I remember crossing from one end to the other end of the island in a speed boat driven by Teddy. Thanks for the gorgeous
pics! I will defintely visit there in December.
