Architecture

The church, designed with Spanish Baroque architectural style, is the first European church to be made of stone ever built in the Philippines. The San Agustin Church is home to countless historical artifacts in itself. It has been in existence during the earliest parts of the formation of the Philippines' history and culture. Because of its role in history, the church itself can be considered a historical artifact.

However old it may be, the façade of the San Agustin Church is an attraction in itself. The Baroque style used in its structure and the pristine grandeur of the furniture inside the church are details that should definitely not be taken for granted. When entering the church, you will see that the San Agustin Church appears to be perfect as a movie studio setting.
