Taal Basilica

no rating yet ♥ 27

A fine old church built in Spanish times to replace the one in San Nicolas that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. The front has a neoclassical facade with lots of columns; the back of the building has high windowless stone walls and looks more like a medieval European fortress than a church. A sign in front of it says it is the largest Catholic church in Asia.
