A true Pinoy heritage... any Pinoy would be proud to have visited this beautifully preserved heritage site. Very serene and a landmark of Filipino ingenuity. Accessible via tricycle fro, Virac.

Must see in Virac. The exterior remains untouched and preserved. Great architecture and gardens showcasing the brilliance of the builders hundreds of years ago.

The place is in Bato, about 10kms from Virac...The place is serene and beautiful. Along a river, and mountains/hills on the other side. Very good for photo-ops.

The facade is nice, the interiors is small and looks like other churches. Went there on a Sunday but there was no mass?

Located about 13 kms North-East of the town of Virac, this gem of an old church is definitely a stand-out among the many other old stone churches of the island province. The church opens up to the equally gorgeous Bato River. My visit to this place set me up for some brief moments of prayer and reflection. Indeed, a delightful sight and spiritually-refreshing visit. A must-see for the religious and historically-inclined travel buff!
