Barasoain Church

Barasoain Church is a Roman Catholic church building in Malolos, Philippines, combining baroque style elements with Renaissance Revival architecture. The masonry and brick structure features a bell tower and a large facade that reflects the historical character of the building.

The foundation dates back to Spanish colonial times when Catholic orders spread their mission across the region. Later the building became the gathering place for the independence declaration and constitutional work in the late 19th century, cementing its national importance.

The site played a central role in the birth of the Philippine Republic and reminds visitors of the struggle for independence. The parish remains active in daily worship and attracts pilgrims as well as history enthusiasts who come to see the setting of major political events.

Visitors reach the site via the main street Paseo del Congreso, which leads directly to the facade. The chapel stands open for prayer during regular worship hours and allows quiet visits outside of services.

The name comes from a small town in Navarre in the Basque Country, brought by the Spanish archbishop from his homeland. This direct reference to European heritage shows the deep connections between colonial power and Far Eastern mission during Spanish rule.
