Construction of the church was started in 1704 and completed in 1894.A few meters away is the coral-stone bell tower which served as observation post of the Katipuneros during the Philippine Revolution
and again by the Guerillas during the Japanese occupation. In 1992, the church is nominated to the
UNESCO’s World Heritage List and officially inscribed in 1993.Do you see any omissions, errors or want to add information to this page? Sign up.
