About this spot

An 18th-century baroque church of volcanic stone perched on a hill, with ornate carvings on its facade and one of the best postcard views of Mayon from its grounds. It was declared a National Cultural Treasure and has been restored after earthquake damage. Climb the steps in the morning for the Mayon-and-church shot, then head down to Cagsawa nearby.
