A fulfilling journey : A visit to the Four UNESCO World Heritage Churches in the Philippines


As you have probably noticed, I'm fascinated with century old churches. Having visited some of the famous and beautiful churches in the country, 4 made it to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites were created in 1978 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It was created as a means to help ensure the preservation of our natural, cultural, and intellectual heritage.
There are innumerable churches and cathedrals all over the country, but the 4 UNESCO World heritage Churches should be at the top of your list. Whether you're a dedicated churchgoer or simply want to marvel at our country's rich religious heritage, these churches are truly worth a visit.
The four churches are:
1. Church of San Agustin in Paoay, Ilocos Norte

2. Church of La Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion in Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur

3. Church of San Agustin in Manila

4. Church of Santo Tomas de Villanueva in Iloilo


How about you? How many have you visited so far?
