Miagao (Fortress) Church / Church of St. Thomas of Villanova / Iglesia de Sto. Tomas de Villanueva
22Dec09...Thought of dropping by the church premises for some respite from the noon heat...ended up taking shots & a clip.
This 2-century-+-old baroque masterpiece of limestone used to double as a fortress against invaders and other hostile forces (the structure was so located and positioned--uphill, & overlooking the coast and the mouth of a major river--as to offer an unobstructed view of the possible entry points of pirates & conquerors back then...those belfries also served as watch towers from where sentinels kept watch).

It was constructed while the country was still under Spanish rule. Well wishes your way too!

Maybe I can highlight its distinctive facade next time. Those scaffoldings got in the way :-) Cheers!
