The Manila Times. Second Annual Edition. 1911. Flanked by the Convent of Santa Rosa and the Dominican Monastery, the Santo Domingo Church was located close to the Intendencia. On the façade were the images of Saints Dominic and Francis Assisi and three heavily carved doors done by the same sculptor who did the pulpit of the interior. Unlike most of the old churches in Intramuros which stood just by the streetsides, Santo Domingo had a close and enough space between the street and its doors.
