San Francisco Church, Naga City

San Francisco Church is one of Bicol's refions oldest church. It is located in Naga City infront of the Quince Martires. Curch is unpainted neo-classical looking exterior, one would really not think the San Francisco Church to be older than the Naga Metropolitan Cathedral, nor even the oldest in the whole of Bicol. Inside has already been coated with paint, making it look very new. Painted with white with wood trimmings, you’d be hard pressed to see any of its colorful history by looking at it. This church has rich history, it was erected in 1578. Initially built of bamboo, and later reconstructed into a brick structure in the middle of the 17th century. The church was almost totally obliterated during the Second World War and remained in ruins ‘til its reincarnation in 1957, which is currently what we now see. #nagacity #churches #itsmorefuninthephilippines #oldarchitecture
