Summary[edit]

Description

stained glass, in the arts, the coloured glass used for making decorative windows and other objects through which light passes. Strictly speaking, all coloured glass is “stained,” or coloured by the addition of various metallic oxides while it is in a molten state. Nevertheless, the term stained glass has come to refer primarily to the glass employed in making ornamental or pictorial windows. The Saint Augustine Church, famously known as the Paoay Church, takes you back to the Philippine’s Spanish colonial era with its charming baroque architecture. Being over three decades old, this marvelous national cultural treasure truly stands the test of time.


Built from 1694 to 1710, Paoay Church is the most outstanding example of earthquake baroque architecture in the Philippines. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, Paoay Church is nothing short of wonderful!
