Monastery of the Transfiguration

About

Inaugurated in 1983, the Monastery of the Transfiguration was the last work of the National Artist for Architecture, Leandro Locsin. The distinctive black pyramid is home to a community of Benedictine monks, who invite visitors to experience the site’s tranquil beauty and join their mass on Sundays. Rising out of a green field, the monastery’s architecture makes it a destination for non-believers, and the rows bonsai trees and carefully sculpted rock garden just add to the sense of serenity.
