This is one church Ilonggos should really be proud of. It was declared in 1990 by the NHCP as a historical landmark and in 2013 by the National Museum as a national cultural treasure, and it is not hard to understand why. It was constructed in the mid-19th century and had witnessed significant historical events at the end of the same century and in the early 20th century. Aside from the church, there's a beautiful and recently restored convent adjacent to it. Be sure to read the historical markers posted at the entrance to the cloister when you visit the place so as to appreciate the place more. This place is only about 20mins by car from the city proper and is definitely worth-visiting not only for the beauty of its architecture, but also for its rich history.

Sta Barbara Church is the place where you can find the historical declaration of Philippine Independence mural painting inscribed at the back of the church. The church was declared as a national treasure because of its historical value and importance. It was built in the 18th century by the Augustinian friars. The structure is said to be neoclassical because of its design and the materials where is built from.
