in Manila. Completed by 1607,[1] The Church of San Agustine constitutes the oldest

Miagao Church
The Miagao Church also known as the Santo Tomas de Villanueva
Parish Church is a Roman Catholic church located
in Miagao, Iloilo, Philippines. The church was declared as a UNESCO
World Heritage Site on December 11, 1993 together with San Agustin
Church in Manila; Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion Church in Santa
Maria, Ilocos Sur; and San Agustin Church in Paoay, Ilocos Norteunder the
collective title Baroque Churches of the Philippines, a collection of
four Baroque Spanish-era churches.[1]
Paoay church
The Paoay Church, also known as the Church of San Agustín, is located
in Paoay, Ilocos Norte. It is the most outstanding example in
the Philippines of an Earthquake Baroque style architecture. Fourteen
buttresses are ranged along the lines of a giant volute supporting a smaller
one and surmounted by pyramidal finials. A pair of buttresses at the
midpoint of each nave wall have stairways for access to the roof. The lower
part of the apse and most of the walls are constructed of coral stone
blocks, the upper levels being finished in brick, but this order is reversed on
the facade. The massive coral stone bell tower, which was added half a
century after the church was completed, stands at some distance from the
church, again as a protection against damage during earthquakes. The
detached bell tower is of notable interest as the tapering layers emphasizes
the oriental style, a unique structure that reflects the design of a pagoda.
The church’s exterior is made of coral stone and brick, held together by a
mortar made from sugarcane juice, mango leaves, and rice straw among
other ingredients. The
Santa Maria Church[edit]
The Santa Maria Church commonly known as the Church of Our Lady of
the Assumption, is located in the municipality of Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur.
Unlike other town churches in the Philippines, which conform to
the Spanish tradition of sitting them on the central plaza, the Church of
Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion in Santa Maria with its convento are on a
hill surrounded by a defensive wall. Also unusual are the sitting of the
convento parallel to the facade of the church and that of the separate bell
tower (characteristic of Philippine-Hispanic architecture) at the midpoint of
the nave wall. This was dictated by the hill on which it is located.
The brick church follows the standard Philippine layout, with a monumental
facade masking a straight roof-line covering a long rectangular building. It
is alleged to be built on a solid raft as a precaution against earthquake
damage. The walls are devoid of ornament but have delicately carved side
entrances and strong buttresses
