St. John the Baptist Tabaco City

The church is built out of dark volcanic soil and stones found in the area. One unusual characteristic of the church is the presence of mason's marks on stones used for the construction of the church building, a rare feature in the Philippines.[4] Its unusual floor plan contains compartments for which there is currently no explanation.[4] It is known for its beautiful and bell tower embedded with rococo designs. The Saint John the Baptist Parish Church (Spanish: Iglesia Parroquial de San Juan Bautista), the church of Tabaco was founded by the Franciscans under the advocacy of Saint John the Baptist and became an independent parish in 1616. It was also declared a National Cultural Treasure of the Philippines. #EducationalTravel #CatholicChurch #History #Facts #TabacoCity #Albay #Bicol #Travel #vlog From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tabaco Church San Juan Bautista Parish Church Iglesia Parroquial de San Juan Bautista (Spanish)
