About About the place

The Santo Tomas de Villanueva Church, commonly known as Miagao Church, is a significant historical and architectural landmark located in Miagao, Iloilo, Philippines. Constructed in 1797, it is one of the four Baroque churches in the Philippines designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites. The church is renowned for its unique facade, featuring intricate carvings that blend Spanish and indigenous Filipino motifs.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.
