The Saint Augustine Catholic Parish Church, commonly known as Dumangas Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Dumangas, Iloilo. The church is considered as the first and oldest Roman Catholic church in Western Visayas. The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) declared it a national landmark in 1983.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Founded in 1572, the church was burned down in 1628. It was reconstructed but was destroyed by an earthquake in 1787. The church was rebuilt in 1887 and was completed in 1896.[1] [2] It has a Gothic Byzantine architectural style, and is made of red bricks and coral stones.[2][3] NHCP in 1983 declared the church as a national historical landmark.[1][2]
