San Juan de Dios Church

The San Juan de Dios Church features intricate carvings, detailed altars, and structural elements characteristic of Spanish colonial religious architecture in the Philippines.

During the Battle of San Rafael in 1896, approximately 800 Filipino civilians and soldiers lost their lives in a conflict with Spanish forces at this location.

The church maintains its role as a central gathering point for religious ceremonies, community events, and traditional Filipino Catholic celebrations throughout the year.

Regular Mass services take place at the church, which stands in the Poblacion district and welcomes visitors who wish to explore its architectural features.

The events at this church influenced General Gregorio Del Pilar to join the revolution and inspired characters in Jose Rizal's novel Noli Me Tangere.
