Baclayon Church, Catholic church in Baclayon, Philippines.

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.

The church museum displays a collection of religious artifacts from the 16th century, including liturgical vestments, church utensils, and sacred objects.

Located 20 kilometers from Tagbilaran City, the church offers free admission while the adjacent museum requires a small entrance fee.

The construction of this religious building required millions of egg whites mixed with coral stones to create a durable binding material.
