Silang Church
A typical Baroque church dedicated to the Virgin of Candelaria. The original parish church and its attached school was completed 1595 by the Franciscans, but were destroyed by fire in 1603. A new church was built in 1637-39, and dedicated in 1640, and its belfry was damaged by earthquakes in 1880 and repaired in 1989. It became a Spanish Civil Guard (Guardia Civil) outpost against a local uprising by Filipino general Vito Belarmino during the Philippine Revolution in 1896.
