About Tigbauan Church
The Tigbauan Church in Iloilo, also known as the St. John of Sahagun Parish Church, is one of the province’s most remarkable heritage sites. Built in the 16th century by the Spanish Augustinians, the church stands out for its unique Latin-American Churrigueresque architectural style and its beautifully crafted mosaics that depict biblical scenes. As a National Historical Landmark, it continues to be both a center of faith and a treasure of Iloilo’s colonial past.
