Declared by the National Museum as a National Cultural Treasure, St. Vincent Ferrer's Church is one of the oldest and biggest church in North Luzon built through the initiative of the Augustinian Fathers in 1776. It is made of brick, lime, coral or river rock and wood plastered over with stucco. The church covers an area of 7,200 square meters and its architectural design is similar to that of Tuguegarao's St. Peter Cathedral. It features a baptistery and narthex pillars covered with finely carved stucco. The church's convent retains some features from its violent past, such as slits on the outer walls which were used by archers to defend against attacks.

Facing the church, there was an old bell tower on the right. We spent some time around its base recording the afternoon light and the rich texture of moss and lichen on aged brickwork on digital image.
Check out how we make the climb up the bell tower.
