Immaculate Conception Church & Excavation Museum
Immaculate Conception Parish Church
A white church in the town center with a small museum beside it, displaying Ming-dynasty Chinese ceramics and ancient pottery excavated locally.
The Immaculate Conception Church stands on high ground in the center of Puerto Galera and overlooks Muelle Bay. It is a town landmark. The small archaeological museum beside the church displays Song and Ming dynasty Chinese ceramics, pottery and burial artifacts excavated in the Puerto Galera area. These finds show that the port was a maritime trading center long before the arrival of the Spanish. Admission is free or by voluntary donation, and a visit takes about 30 minutes. It is a few minutes' walk from the Muelle Pier.
