San Joaquin Church
June 20th, 2007
This is the only church in the Philippines having as its facade a bas-relief of a historical battle (Rendicion de Tetuan-Surrender of Tetuan) where the Spaniards under Gen. Leopoldo O’Donnel were victorious over the Moors in Morocco under Crown Prince Muley Abbass. It shows the cavalry and infantry breaking the Moorish defenders before a minaret tower and date palms. Built by Fr. Tomas Santaren, it was described as de piedra y torre de tres cuerpos.
