See for yourself Miagao's World Heritage Church
The earthquake baroque Miagao church is the only one from the Visayas and Mindanao declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You must see for yourself the artistry of the Ilonggos concretized in the fancy, indigenized relief motifs found at the church's pediment.

  • Address: at the heart of Miagao town
  • Phone: 0920-3500131
  • Directions: Await a Miagao jeepney from UP Visayas city campus along Infante Street (in front of Iloilo Doctor's Hospital), board it and brace yourself for a literally hair-raising 1 hr. ride to Miagao.

    Jeepney Joy Rides
    The main mode of public transportation from Miag-ao to Iloilo City and the suburbs will be the beautiful & colorful JEEPNEYS!

    Jeepneys, is something one just has to see and is unique here in the Philippines (except maybe for those imported by other countries). The jeepneys has different faces in different parts of the country. Those in Panay are aesthetically beautiful, I am proud of that! The body is like imitating the built of branded cars and automobiles.

    Aside from the magnificent church, Miagao has a cemetery with a century-old chapel or capilla. Why so special? Its the only one in the Visayas with a brick dome and it is still intact. Sadly, so much vegetation has grown on this special roof that it might not be around very long if intervention is not done. That's why do see it. Also, there's this unique skull-and-crossbones motif on the facade of this brick and limestone antique structure.

  • Address: Miagao town proper
  • Directions: From Miagao church, ask a tricycle driver to take you to the patyo or cemetery

    Shop for souvenirs
    A souvenir shop in front of the church showcases items to take with you to remind you of your experience in Miagao. Although limited, the souvenirs are pretty, artistic, and handmade by the locals... and cheap too!

    About 10 minutes from the church you'll find a weaving cottage industry. Sorry i don't have the specific directions, but you can ask around the locals and they'll know where to direct you.
