A Roman Catholic church built during the Spanish colonial era, featuring a Baroque brickwork with Asiatic-like jagged ridges on top. Inside the church are murals by local artist, Luciano Dans namely Langit, Lupa, Impiyerno (Heaven, Earth, Hell) and large murals of Saint Christopher. The murals are designated as national cultural treasures, although some of them are in urgent need of repair due to termite damage and humidity. There are also statues of saints whose limbs can be moved like puppets. This is usually done during religious processions for events such as Holy Week.
