The church structure features a cross-shaped design with coral stone walls and a main altar adorned with retablos containing intricate religious designs and inscriptions.
Founded by Jesuit priests in 1596 and completed in 1727, the church represents one of the earliest Christian settlements established in the Bohol region.
