Quick Take
San Diego de Alcala Parish in Polo is one of Valenzuela’s most important old-town landmarks. The present complex is tied to a parish established during the Spanish colonial period, while the surviving bell tower and historic fabric reflect damage and rebuilding across wars and disasters. It remains an active church, not an abandoned ruin, so the heritage visit must work around Mass and parish life. Pair it with other Polo sites and local food to understand the area beyond the modern city roads.
