Immaculate Conception: District of Intramuros, City of Manila Nuestra Senora: Municipality of Santa Maria, Province of Ilocos Sur San Agustin: Municipality of Paoay, Province of Ilocos Norte Santo Tomas: Municipality of Miag-ao, Province of Iloilo These four churches, the first of which was built by the Spanish in the late 16th century, are located in Manila, Santa Maria, Paoay and Miag-ao. Their unique architectural style is a reinterpretation of European Baroque by Chinese and Philippine craftsmen.
I was able to take pictures of all the churches inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List when, finally, in November 2009, I was able to visit the church of Nuestra Senora in Sta. Maria Ilocos Sur. The first church I was able to see was the San Agustin Church in Paoay when I was still an undergraduate student. The second was the Immaculate Conception Church in Itramuros, then the Sto. Tomas Churh in Miagao, Iloilo during a brief stay in that province.
