Taytay Church, Religious memorial in Taytay, Philippines
Saint John the Baptist Church stands on elevated ground in Taytay, featuring stone walls and concrete additions from multiple construction periods.
Franciscan missionaries established the original chapel near Laguna de Bay in 1579, with Jesuits taking over administration in 1591 under Rev. Pedro Chirino.
The church structure reflects Filipino architectural adaptations through several reconstructions, integrating local building techniques with Spanish colonial designs.
The church maintains regular Mass schedules and remains accessible to visitors through public transportation routes connecting from Metro Manila.
Pope Francis elevated the church to Minor Basilica status in 2024, marking its significance as the first Jesuit stone church built outside Manila.
