A Baroque church built as a provincial copy of San Ignacio Church in Intramuros, Manila. The National Museum declared it a National Cultural Treasure for its artistic design and cultural value. The Jesuit brothers Francisco Rivera and Juan Cuesta are credited with the original building, which stands in Poblacion, Upper Jasaan.
Father Juan Herras, a Jesuit, began the present Immaculate Conception Church in 1887. It is 46 metres long and 18 metres wide, with brick walls 6.1 metres high and 1.2 metres thick, and a square tower on each side of the pediment. Inside are the original brick paving, a neo-Gothic retablo and ceiling woodwork that looks like basket weave. The towers hold four bells. The oldest is dated 1807, and the largest was cast in 1854 for Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepcion de Jasaan.
