The Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation and Cincture, also known as the San Agustin Church (Filipino: Simbahan ng San Agustín) and Immaculate Conception Parish (Filipino: Parokya ng Kalinis-linisang Concepción), is a Roman Catholic church under the auspices of the Order of Saint Augustine located inside the historic walled city of Intramuros in Manila, Philippines. Completed in 1607, it is the oldest stone church in the country. In 1993, San Agustin Church was one of four Philippine churches constructed during the Spanish colonial period to be designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, under the collective title Baroque Churches of the Philippines. It was named a National Historical Landmark by the Philippine government in 1976.
