Alburquerque Church, Catholic parish church in Alburquerque, Philippines.
Alburquerque Church is a parish building with a cruciform shape and a front porch that serves as the choir loft on the upper level. The structure sits on a gentle slope along Bohol's main highway and displays traditional religious architecture.
A small chapel was founded in 1842 and served as the origin of the present church. Construction of the current structure began in 1885 under the direction of Father Manuel Muro.
The church is dedicated to Santa Monica and has been recognized as a protected cultural site since 2013. It remains central to the spiritual and community life of the town.
The site opens daily for visitors and holds regular services for the local community. It is best to visit during weekdays or outside main service times to explore the interior comfortably.
The ceiling paintings were completed between April and August 1932 by Ray Francia and bear his signature on the side of the choir loft. These artistic details are a special feature that often goes unnoticed.
