Majayjay Church, Catholic parish in Majayjay, Philippines

The stone church displays Romanesque architecture with a three-level facade, triangular pediment, and a five-story square bell tower with multiple arched windows.

Following two wooden structures destroyed by fire, the current stone building was constructed between 1616 and 1649 under Spanish colonial administration.

The interior contains century-old religious artifacts, santos, decorated retablos, and intricate tiled flooring that reflect Philippine Catholic heritage.

The church remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors who arrive by taking a bus to San Pablo City, then a jeepney to Liliw.

The building rehabilitation in the 1700s required 14,000 laborers who sandwiched remaining ruins between brick layers, creating exceptionally thick protective walls.
