PHILIPPINES - Barasoain Church

Barasoain Church (also known as Our Lady of  Mt. Carmel Parish) is a Roman Catholic church built in 1630 in Malolos City. Bulacan. Having earned the  title as the Cradle of Democracy in the East,, the most important religious building in the Philippines, and the site of the First Philippine Republic, the church is proverbial for its historical importance among Filipinos.  Founded by Augustinian Missionaries in 1859, the church is also renowned for its architectural design and internal adornments. The original church was burned during the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution however it was renovated.

Thanks to Zarah for the card.
