My World#14 Laoag Church, Laoag, Ilocos Norte
Built by the Augustinian Friars during 1580, St. William's Cathedral or more popularly known as Laoag Church is actually older than the more popular Paoay Church of the same province of Ilocos Norte.Laoag Church is known for its sinking belfry which is located 85 meters away from the church.

Thanks for dropping by in my blog. This is a very picturesque church both outside and in. And how well you have got that inside shot.
I scrolled down and you have some very interesting shots here but the ones in MW 11 made me gasp out loud. Such wonderful beauty is rare indeed as in those watery pictures.
