San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish Church

The San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish Church stands as a religious structure with stone walls and architectural elements from the Spanish colonial period.

The church maintains traditional Catholic ceremonies throughout the year and holds special masses that bring together the local population of Banton.
