Painfully, this beautiful 300+ years old church sustained major damage with its collapsed portico and bell tower when a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Bohol in 2013.

First time in this church calls for a wish. Wished for the wellfare of all Boholanos especially looking at how affected they were by the earthquake that hit them.

To the right of the church’s carved wooden doors is the entrance to the museum , a good place to visit after your penitential rounds. Read more

The facade collapsed but I still find it beautiful. Memories.

Ladies, if you're not wearing long pants or are wearing sleeveless shirts , grab a shawl from the sacristan at the side entrance. Otherwise they won't let you in or you'll be admonished if you sneak in

if you want to know more about Baclayon church's history, try to visit the nearby museum . There's an entrance fee, though.

Complete your museum visit with a pack of green tea polvoron sold at the souvenir shop! ????

If you come here at evening, dont forget to check out the pier . Its really charming!

Visit the museum . They have different church relics.

Ladies must cover their legs if wearing shorts or skirt prior to entering the church . Pieces of cloth are offerd at the main entrance.

wear conservative clothes if your planning to get inside. although they can also offer saris for you to cover.

There are only two pipe organ at the church . The one is located on the main entrance.

One of the oldest churches in Bohol and Philippines.

This old church was struck by an earthquake 2 years ago and is under renovation

Wonderful well-preserved place!

Bohol's oldest church , and Philippine's 2nd oldest.
