Daraga Church, Catholic parish church in Daraga, Philippines

The church structure features a baroque facade constructed from volcanic rocks with spiral columns containing medallions depicting the four Evangelists.

Built by Franciscan priests in 1773, the church became a refuge for residents who relocated from Cagsawa after the 1814 Mayon Volcano eruption.

The National Museum designated Daraga Church as a National Cultural Treasure in 2007, recognizing its architectural and religious importance to the region.

Visitors can reach the church by taking a jeepney from Legazpi City to Daraga municipal hall, with regular mass services available throughout the week.

The octagonal belfry displays carvings of the twelve apostles across six faces and provides an observation point toward Mount Mayon.
