San Andres Apostol Church, Baroque Catholic church in Candaba, Philippines.
The San Andres Apostol Church is a baroque structure featuring a symmetrical facade with ornamental stone details and coral stone construction. The building displays the typical style of Spanish colonial churches built across Central Luzon.
The church was founded in 1669 and ranks among the earliest religious structures built during Spanish colonial times in Candaba. The building has survived centuries while maintaining its original architectural design.
The church serves as a gathering place for weddings, baptisms, and religious processions where local residents celebrate their faith together. It remains central to the community's spiritual and social life.
The church is accessible by public transportation from Manila and holds services daily throughout the week. Weekdays tend to offer a less crowded experience for those wishing to explore the interior.
The building was constructed using coral stone, a material that sets it apart from other religious structures in the region. This choice of building material was characteristic of what was readily available during the early colonial period.
