Silang Church, Parish church in Silang, Philippines
The stone structure features a four-story belfry connected to the main building, transitioning from a square base to an octagonal upper section.
The Franciscans established the first chapel in 1595, dedicated to Saint Diego of Alcalá, before constructing the current stone church between 1637 and 1639.
The church retablos display intricate baroque designs across three main sections, with a central altar accompanied by two side altars incorporating Filipino artistic elements.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and holds special celebrations each February for the feast of Our Lady of Candelaria with processions through Silang.
The National Museum of the Philippines designated both the church complex and its altarpieces as National Cultural Treasures in February 2017.
