Abucay Church, Catholic parish church in Abucay, Philippines

The Saint Dominic Parish Church features a two-level facade divided by Doric columns and a five-tiered bell tower with semicircular arched windows.

The church structure, built in the early 1600s, witnessed a tragic event when Dutch invaders massacred hundreds of Filipinos and Spaniards in 1647.

The church building represents the Dominican missionary influence in the Philippines, with its baroque architectural elements reflecting Spanish colonial religious heritage.

Located at the intersection of Bataan National Road and Laon Street, the church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors throughout the week.

The church housed one of the earliest printing presses in the Philippines, established in 1608, where Tomas Pinpin printed books in Spanish and Tagalog.
