Greenbelt Chapel

Chapel of Santo Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel, also known as the Chapel of Santo Niño de Paz, is one of those unique Roman Catholic chapels located in Makati, Philippines, inside the Greenbelt Mall complex. This open-air, circular-design edifice was built in the early 1980s and is regarded as unique compared with most conventional churches. Designed to blend in with nature, the chapel architecture seems to float above a garden oasis in the middle of Makati business district, all but covered with greenery. It is a favorite among the employees and passersby, since it has daily Masses, confessions, and other religious activities. Its minimalist style, in which concrete elements are utilized symbolically and complemented by natural elements, also evokes silent and meditative settings among visitors and regular mass goers.
