    This document summarizes the history of Quiapo, Manila from the colonial period to modern times. It traces the arrival of the Franciscans in 1571 and the establishment of Quiapo as a parish. After the British invasion, Jesus the Nazarene replaced John the Baptist as the patron saint of the Quiapo church. In the late 19th century, Manila prospered as the center of artistic activities in the Philippines, but the Quiapo church burned down in 1929. During World War 2, Manila was declared an open city and occupied by Japanese troops, leaving the economy in ruins. In modern times, Quiapo has faced urban blight but remains an important site of devotion for the Black Nazarene.
