Tanza Church, Catholic church in Tanza, Philippines
The Diocesan Shrine of Saint Augustine features Earthquake Baroque architecture with brick and tuff stone materials, reflecting local construction methods of its time period.
The construction of Tanza Church commenced in 1839 and extended over 37 years due to financial constraints and frequent attacks by bandits in the area.
Each August 28, the church organizes a town celebration dedicated to Saint Augustine of Hippo, bringing together the local community for religious observances.
Visitors can reach the church by taking a San AgustinTrans bus from the Southwest Integrated Provincial Bus Terminal to Sta Cruz Road in Tanza.
The church convent witnessed a significant moment in Philippine history when Emilio Aguinaldo took his presidential oath for the Revolutionary Government in 1897.
