Santa Maria Church
Beyond their religious importance, many churches in the Philippines are also admired for their architecture. Four churches in the country have been recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites because they are strong examples of the Baroque style introduced during the Spanish colonial period.
One of these is the Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion Church, more widely known as Santa Maria Church in Ilocos Sur. Built on top of a hill, the church overlooks the town below and stands as a reminder of the country’s history and enduring faith.
