The parish church of Saint Anthony of Padua, built with two belfries and named a national landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines in 1939. It is an archdiocesan shrine under the Archdiocese of Caceres.

Three churches came before it, and each one was lost. The first burned in 1585, a typhoon and then a fire took the second, and the third, built in 1727, burned in 1841. The present building went up shortly after that. The town fiesta for Saint Anthony falls on 13 June.
