Paoay Church, Ilocos Norte

Posted by Ada on Category: Ilocos Norte, Luzon | 49 Comments

Every place here in Laoag is historical! I have seen Paoay Church (also known as Church of San Agustin) in photos but nothing compares to its gorgeousness when you saw it in real. It is very old, huge, and stunningly beautiful!

Marcos-1

Our jaw dropped when we saw it in person. I can’t explain the feeling while looking at the church. I envy people who lives there because the moment they go outside their houses, their time is frozen to 1593.

Marcos-2

I am sorry but it is OHMYGOD this the most beautiful church I have ever seen in my entire life!!

I took a closer look to the structure of the church and the brick walls are destroyed not by humans but by nature because of oldness.

Marcos-3

You will also get thrilled to the other side of the church. As in! Very beautiful. Breathtaking. Unexplainable emotion. Jaw dropped.

Marcos-5

Let’s go inside..

Marcos-4

I feel like I was warped in 1593. There is no music inside the church but while I was inside, I feel like I am listening to a Baroque music, lol crazy imagination seriously, :lol:

Let’s go to the bell tower!

Marcos-7

YAY warning. Not everyone can climb up! There were people who backed out while in the middle of the climb. They can’t tolerate the steepness of the ladder and afraid that it might broke anytime because the ladder is really really old.

Top of bell tower.

    I’m sorry I can’t help myself but I just have to tell this. I’ve personally seen the church twice and I can relate to your reaction. Its oh-so beautiful and grand! I was awed and numbed by its beauty. And I’m pretty sure no matter how many times I see it in this lifetime I will still feel the same way.
