This WHS is composed of four churches across the Philippines. They were
built by the Spanish between 16th and 18th century CE.
The architectural style is a reinterpretation of the European Baroque by
Philippine and Chinese craftsmen, with a consideration of local physical conditions
and materials as well as decorative motifs. These churches would serve as
important influences on later churches built in the region.
The four churches are:
- Miagao Church, province of Iloilo
- Paoay Church, province of Ilocos Norte
- San Augustin Church, city of Manila in the National Capital Region
- Santa Maria Church, province of Ilocos Sur
