Dauis Church
Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Dauis
A coral-stone church by the sea with an ancient well under the altar, known as the “miraculous spring.” It is a national cultural treasure.
The current building of the Church of the Assumption was completed in the late 19th century and blends Romanesque and Gothic elements. The ceiling is richly painted. Beneath the altar is an old well. According to legend, during the Spanish period, when pirates attacked, villagers took refuge in the church, and the well's water never ran out. The well is considered a miracle, and believers still come to draw water from it. Entry is free. The church stands at the bridge head connecting mainland Bohol with Panglao Island, about 15 minutes by car from Tagbilaran.
