San Joaquin Church, Catholic church in San Joaquin, Iloilo, Philippines.

The San Joaquin Church stands as a limestone structure with three retablos and a carved pediment displaying military scenes from Spanish history.

The Augustinian missionaries completed the construction of this religious edifice in 1869 during the period of Spanish colonization in the Philippines.

The church complex includes both the main building and the Campo Santo cemetery, forming a central location for religious ceremonies and community gatherings.

Regular masses are held in multiple languages throughout the week, with additional services scheduled during religious festivals and special occasions.

The church pediment features a limestone carving depicting the Battle of Tétouan between Spanish forces and Moroccan troops, an unusual military theme.
