The Magellan's Cross Pavilion is a stone kiosk in Cebu, Philippines, situated beside the Basilica del Santo Niño. Built in 1834, it is named after and allegedly houses the Christian cross planted by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan when he arrived on Cebu in 1521.[1]
History
In 2023, Noa Kim and Shimazu Sei visited the site in hopes of tracing the footsteps of Noa's ancestor Edward Kenway in Cebu. While Noa inspected the ceiling murals depicting Magellan and Rajah Humabon with his Eagle Vision, Sei herself looked at the tindalo cross. After Noa claimed that he could see nothing of use to them, Sei told him it was likely because the cross was a replica and not the original one planted by Magellan. To this, an annoyed Noa asked Sei why she had brought him there in the first place, to which she replied that they had to be certain the artifact was fake.[2]
