St. Peters and Paul Parish Church - Bantayan Island

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Located in the heart of the Municipality of Bantayan just across the town plaza, Saints Peter and Paul Parish Church is the most prominent historical structure in the entire island of Bantayan. 
Built in 1863, the five-century-old church is made of stones and coral endemic in the island. 
It is the first and therefore the oldest parish in Visayas and Mindanao which was founded on June 1580.
Photos are taken before Super Typhoon Yolanda devastated the entire island. It's entirety as a church is preserved after having minor repairs due to the typhoon's damages. Check photos below to see the innate and exquisite beauty of the church.
