San Ignacio Church in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines, was designed for the Jesuits by architect Félix Roxas Sr., and completed in 1899. It was known as their "Golden Dream" but was destroyed during World War II. Its interiors, embellished with carvings, had been designed by Isabelo Tampinco.[1]

The church building is currently being reconstructed, along with its adjoining Casa Misión Convent, as the Museo de Intramuros.[needs update]
