San Joaquin is the Iloilo province’s southernmost town. Located 65 kilometers south of Iloilo City. What many people know is that in this sleepy town lies a churched declared by the National Historical Institute as a National Shrine.
The church was constructed using coral stones quarried from the town of Igabras, also in Iloilo. The church’s main feature is the bas relief facade which features the victory of Spain over the Moors of Morocco in the Battle of Tetuan.
Because of its unique face, the San Joaquin Church is also considered as the most Militaristic Church in the Philippines.
