Monastery of The Transfiguration

After we soak our selves in cold water spring at Nasuli, we're now headed to our next destination - Monastery of The Transfiguration. The place is so serene and peaceful, perfect place to meditate and thinks things out. My visit there is short but sweet and we're ready to head to next spot.

The pyramid structure was made by national artist Architect Leandro Locsin and was dubbed as a “Magnum Opus”, a Latin word which means “Great Work”.
