Pindangan Ruins
Pindangan Church Ruins
The brick and stone ruins of a 17th-century Augustinian church, framed by vines and old trees. It is a popular spot for photo shoots.
The Pindangan Ruins are in Parian, south of San Fernando. They are the remains of a church built by the Spanish Augustinians in the 17th century. Pindangan was the old name of San Fernando before the town was founded. Legend says the settlement was abandoned after pirate raids and an earthquake. Today, only parts of the walls and arches remain, surrounded by green vines and old trees. The ruins are often used as backdrops for weddings and portrait photography. The site is small, and a visit takes about half an hour. Entry is free. The walls are fragile, so please do not climb on them.
