While there may be differences in ‘beauty’ of the various churches built during the Spanish era, I am singularly affected by the ‘how’ they were erected. Moving those stones, mixing the mortars when cement was virtually unavailable and still have time and patience to input some art/style are awesome works.

Hi Beth, thanx for dropping by. We’ll I’ve always wanted to visit Miag-ao church again. I agree, its one of the country’s best churches. Now, if only I can squeeze in time…

These pictures reminds me of a 1 week visit to Iloilo for the reason of churches alone. I always wonder where in the Phils can we find the best church architectures. But definitely one of the best is Miag-ao Church. It is the stone, the carvings…so much labor for those people in the past.
