Paoay Church and Belltower
Included in UNESCO's World Heritage List. It is built of coral blocks and stucco-plastered bricks, the architecture is a unique combination of Gothic, Baroque and Oriental.
(Actually, the belltower is slanting a bit. I think, I made both the church and the belltower to slant...:rolleyes: )

Great pictures! There is so much history in these pictures. These churches must be around 2 or 3 centuries old.

Thanks! :) Yes, it is. Paoay Church was completed in 1894 (construction started 1704).

Yes they are! There are a lot of history surrounding those churches. That is why, we're trying to preserve them... :)
