The only Catholic basilica in Laguna and a national cultural treasure, Majayjay's church burned several times during the Spanish era, with the last being in 1711. Instead of razing the structure, its priest instead ordered the ruins to be encased inside a -thick layer of brick and plastered in pink, resulting the façade exuding a fortress-like aura. The interior contains an ornate altar and an upper-level catwalk that rings the space. Unlike most Spanish-era churches in the Philippines, the basilica was built in the Romanesque style. The parish office sells some souvenirs.
