Revisiting the Cabatuan Chuch

Posted on November 25, 2009

If I have to desrcribe the Cabatuan Church in once word it must be: humongous.

Cabatuan is a town in Central Iloilo some, 15-20 minutes away from Iloilo City. Its church is another fine example of a Neo Classical – Tuscan designed structure.

The church is dedicated to its patron saint San Nicolas de Tolentino, who feast day falls on November 9th.

This is my second time to be here. And, just like when I went here some two years ago, I am so mesmerized by its sheer size and its beauty.

I love the color of the bricks on its side. And it is still original! Its twi bell towers are just so massive and imposing. Probably its one of the first thing that you’d get to notice when you go to this church.

When you visit the church of Cabatuan, you’ll never get lost here when commuting via jeepney. The church is located right beside a town street and is facing the town plaza. A very typical layout of an old Spanish town.
