Archdiocesan Shrine of Patrocinio de Maria Santisima, Colonial baroque parish in Boljoon, Philippines

The church building stands with a massive stone facade, featuring a trefoil-arched niche displaying the statue of Patrocinio de Maria at the second level.

Constructed in 1783 under Father Ambrosio Otero's direction, the church replaced earlier structures that were destroyed by pirates in 1782.

The main altar contains a pseudo-baroque rococo retablo with gold leaf highlights, housing the image of Our Lady of the Patronage from 1599.

The church museum, located on the first floor of the convent, exhibits liturgical objects, record books, images of saints, vestments, and religious relics.

The rectangular bell tower served dual purposes: its upper levels contained seven bells while the ground floor functioned as a prison cell.
