Ilocos is home to some of the Philippines’ oldest churches. One that is always mentioned when talking about the region is the imposing St. Augustine Church of Paoay or simply Paoay Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Paoay Church is a Roman Catholic church in Paoay, Ilocos Norte province, completed in 1710 after 2 decades of construction. With a massive pediment and complementary bell tower standing imposingly on an expansive plain, the church is famous for an architecture that blends baroque, gothic, Chinese, and Javanese. Its official name is the Saint Augustine Church. Already a declared National Cultural Treasure in 1973, Paoay Church was classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 under the collective group “Baroque Churches of the Philippines”. It shares the distinction with San Agustin Church in Manila, Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion Church in Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur province, and Santo Tomas de Villanueva Parish Church in Miagao, Iloilo province.
