The San Ignacio de Loyola Church, designed by architect Félix Roxas Sr., served as the Jesuit motherhouse and was completed in 1899. It was their cherished "Golden Dream," featuring intricate hardwood carvings by Isabelo Tampinco. Destroyed during World War II, the church is now being reconstructed as the Museo de Intramuros, along with the adjoining Casa Misión Convent.

The church's exterior had neoclassical proportions, while the Renaissance-style interiors showcased elevated galleries, a coffered ceiling, and a fusion of coral and limestone on the façade. A fire in 1932 spared the church but damaged much of the Jesuit compound, including Ateneo de Manila. After the transfer of Ateneo to San José Seminary, the church became a parish.

Next trip, to the historic islands of Central Visayas.... ⛵

What other Philippine historical structures would you like to see next? 😁

01/08/2023

In the era of Spanish colonialism, our remarkable landmarks were brought to life using special techniques and structures. Among these were the kilns, essential for producing the building materials.

One such kiln was the horno, a sizable oven where the sturdy ladrillo bricks were prodcued. These bricks were crucial for constructing various structures, including houses and churches.
One well preserved example is the 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗼, located in Cagayan.

Another important kiln is the lime kiln, designed to heat limestone to high temperatures. After heating, the limestone is crushed and combined with other components to create "apog," a cement mortar widely used in the past to bind bricks together. In Sibalom, Antique, stands the 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗻, a lime kiln that sits atop a limestone hill, likely where the materials were sourced. The Calerohan is a great example of what the typical kilns in provincial areas looked like.

These kilns silently bear witness to the hours of forced labor endured by slaves during the Spanish colonial era, reminding us of the historical significance behind the structures we admire today.

Miagao Church, aka Santo Tomás de Villanueva Parish, is a treasure nestled in the charming town of Miagao, Iloilo, Philippines. This Roman Catholic church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its architectural and cultural significance.

The church's construction began way back in 1787, a time of great challenges with Moro invasions threatening the region. To safeguard its community, the townspeople strategically built this impressive structure on a hill, providing both spiritual and physical protection. The church's thick walls, made from a mix of materials like adobe, egg, coral, and limestone, have stood the test of time, showcasing a captivating blend of Baroque and Romanesque styles that add to its unique charm.

It portrays St. Christopher, carrying the Child Jesus, dressed in the traditional attire of the locals. The use of coconut trees in the design, symbolizing the tree of life, adds a touch of cultural diversity that makes this church truly special.
