It was built during the Spanish colonization in the late 1570 by Juan de la Isla. The Church structure was bulit of coral stone about 70 meters long, 25 meters wide and 18 meters high. Its structure was shaped in the form of a Latin cross with one central altar and four lateral ones, each one fitted and decorated by retablos and hardwood. Capiz Best has a lot more to offer.
