My World#43 Philippine Churches Part II: The Facade of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Baliuag, Bulacan

Contrary to the vibrant colors of the interior of the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Baliuag, Bulacan, the facade of the said church is almost devoid of any color. What is interesting though is that this is the only church I have seen so far that has twin belltowers situated on each side of the entrance of the church.



And this is the arc detail by the entrance door of the church.

My World#40 Philippine Churches Part I: Barasoain Church, Bulacan, Luzon

To start off my Philippine Churches series, I am going to feature the church that has the most significant part in the Philippine history.

This is the Barasoain Church or Our Lady of Mt. Carmen Parish of Malolos, Bulacan, Luzon. The church is considered as the most important church in the Philippine history. Well-known for its architectural design and interiors, it was the site of three major events in the Philippine History:

The First Philippine Congress Convention, September 15, 1898
The Drafting of the Malolos Constitution, September 29, 1898 to January 21, 1899
The Inauguration of the First Philippine Republic, January 23, 1899

The church was proclaimed a National Shrine last August 1, 1973 by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos. More pictures in my subsequent posts.
