Taal Basilica, Religious basilica in Taal, Philippines.
The Basilica of Saint Martin de Tours stands as the largest church in Asia, measuring 88 meters in length and 48 meters in width.
The original church from 1575 near Taal Lake was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1754, leading to its relocation to the current elevated site.
Saint Martin of Tours, the patron saint of Taal, receives special recognition during the annual feast celebration on November 11 with traditional Filipino ceremonies.
The basilica maintains regular mass schedules throughout the week and requires visitors to follow a dress code when entering the sacred premises.
The church structure features imported European decorative tiles and a high altar designed by Agapito Aparicio, combining Filipino and Spanish architectural elements.
