Baclayon Church, the second oldest stone Church in the Philippines, is only an example of the Spanish historical past and is largely blessed, not just a religious legacy, but priceless treasures of antiquity. The magnificent edifice is truly amazing! The walls of Baclayon Church were made from coral stones taken from the sea, cut into blocks and plied on top of the other using bamboo as rigging and millions of egg whites mixed with limes as cementing materials. Could you just imagine how a magnificent edifice built in the 1500´s was using egg whites, the food we are eating at breakfast, as its cementing material?

However, not only Baclayon suffered in the calamity but also other centuries-old churches including the ones in Maribojoc, Loon, Loay, Loboc, Dauis, Dimiao and others. Baclayon Church was well-preserved and since March 2018 it is open again to the public.

The Tagbilaran Cathedral appears imposing outside, and is wide and roomy inside. It has a Neo-Romanesque façade with corbelled arches underneath the cornice. There is a porch before the main entrance. The statue of Saint Joseph, patron saint of Bohol, stands in front where once the atrial cross stood.

Both the interior and exterior of the church of Spanish times have been greatly renovated. Despite frequent renovations to meet modern-day requirements, some historic pieces still remain. The side altars are of the 18th century baroque style. The main or center altar, simply but elegantly decorated with ornate gold designs depicting symbols of Old Testament times, is in the 19th century Neoclassical style.
