Alburquerque Church, Catholic parish church in Alburquerque, Philippines.
The Santa Monica Parish Church features a cruciform structure with a portico on the front that serves as the choir loft on the second floor.
The initial chapel established in 1842 evolved into the present church structure, which began construction in 1885 under the supervision of Father Manuel Muro.
The National Museum of the Philippines designated this religious edifice as an Important Cultural Property in 2013, marking its significance in Philippine heritage.
Located on a low hill along the main highway of Bohol, the church opens daily for visitors and maintains regular mass schedules for the local congregation.
The ceiling paintings, completed by Ray Francia between April and August 1932, bear his signature on the side of the choir loft.
