Miagao Church, Catholic parish church in Miagao, Philippines.
The Miagao Church features thick stone walls, two unequal bell towers, and an intricate facade decorated with extensive bas-relief designs.
Built between 1787 and 1797, the church served as a fortress against pirate attacks and underwent multiple reconstructions after fires and war damages.
The church facade combines Medieval Spanish, Chinese, Muslim, and Filipino artistic elements, including indigenous interpretations of Saint Christopher and local plants.
Located on the highest point of Miagao town, the church is accessible by regular bus and jeepney services from Iloilo City's Mohon Terminal.
The foundation extends 6 meters underground with 1.5-meter-thick walls constructed from sandstone, coral, and limestone mixed with egg whites.
