Loboc Church
San Pedro Apostol Parish Church
An old stone church on the Loboc River, badly damaged in the 2013 earthquake and restored to reopen. It is a national cultural treasure.
The church was founded by Jesuit missionaries in 1602. The present stone building dates from the 18th century, and the interior ceiling has early 20th-century religious murals. Beside it stand a separate bell tower and a convent, forming a complete complex. It is designated a national cultural treasure of the Philippines. During the 7.2-magnitude earthquake of 2013, the façade and bell tower collapsed, and the church reopened after years of restoration. Entry is free, but dress appropriately. It is close to the Loboc River cruise pier, so you can visit before or after the boat trip.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–17:00 (closed during Mass)
