Side chapels on the right side of the main nave, dedicated to Anthony of Padua (Anthony of Lisbon), Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
As typical in most cities in Mexico Campeche has its Plaza de la Independencia (Zócalo).
The small Plaza de la Independencia forms the heart of the Historic Center of the City of Campeche. It has a centre kiosk that is way to large for the plaza IMO.
The plaza came into existence with the founding of the city by Francisco de Montejo in 1531 as a military camp.
Over the years it became the focus of the town’s civic, political and religious activities and has been remodelled several times. Today is mostly a place to relax and on weekend evenings the city provides an orchestra entertainment and a light show.
Campeche's cathedral, "Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception" fronting the plaza was built between 1540 and 1760.
The square is also the boarding location for the city hop-on, hop-off trollies - one seen on the right.
Nuestra Señora Immaculada Concepcion Church
Baclayon, Bohol, Philippines
The Catholic Parish of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon, being the earliest Spanish mission founded in Bohol in 1596, is home to the oldest religious structure in the province, and one of the oldest existing stone churches in the entire country.
Established in 1717 and declared a National Historical Landmark in 1994, this beautiful coral stone church is located just a short distance from the seaside, like most early Spanish missions that were set up along the coasts of Bohol.
A new facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church were added in the 19th century.
Next to the church is an interesting old convent, which also houses a small museum with a fascinating collection of centuries-old religious images made of ivory, and ecclesistical relics such as vestments and other artifacts.
Also noteworthy are the big hymnals inscribed in Latin with ink taken from plant sap, the covers and pages of which are made of animal skin.

Baclayon Church is the second oldest church in the Philippines. The church carries with the Spanish past of the country. Though the very first Spanish missionaries arrived in 1595, the construction of the church began only in 1717. It took 10 years for the Filipino to complete the church under forced labor. Baclayon Church is made of coral stone, cut into blocks and piled atop each other. To move the heavy stones from tree to the building site, native workers had to use bamboos. It is said that millions of egg whites were used to cement the coral stone blocks together.
The Baclayon Church looks like a three-tiered squarish cake, with large windows. The church actually has two facades: an inner one and an outer one. The outer façade is a portico added only in the 1800s. Though the exterior of Baclayon Church rather looks rather plain, the interior of the church is very lavish. It has exquisitely carved gilded altars, nave paintings, dichromatic tiled floor, and stained glass windows.
When I was out in the area photographing, our driver told me that the image in the facade was the face of Father Damaso - a character in one of Jose Rizal's novel.
Would you care to enlighten me?
Father Dámaso or Padre Dámaso is one of the notorious, if not the memorable, characters in the novel Noli Me Tangere. The novel was written by José Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not or "Social Cancer") is a controversial and anticlerical novel that exposed the abuses of the Spanish friars (belonging to the Roman Catholic Church) and the Spanish elite during colonial Philippines during the 19th century.
The novel, according to the author, represented the state of Philippine society under Spanish colonial rule. The novel was intended as a liberal-nationalist wake-up call for the people of the Philippines. While natives of the Philippines (indios) were trained to become secular clergy, ethnic Spanish priests in the powerful religious orders were given preferential treatment in the assignment to parishes.
Father Dámaso Verdolagas, a Franciscan Spanish priest, is the former curate of the town of San Diego. He hates Don Rafael Ibarra (Crisostomo Ibarra's father) and also ordered the transfer of his body to the Chinese cemetery, which is actually a very shameful place to bury a corpse, according to the person who exhumed Don Rafael's grave. He is also the godfather of Maria Clara before his secret past was revealed when Father Salvi discloses to Maria Clara that Father Dámaso is her true father. Near the end of the novel, he and Maria Clara had a dispute about her not marrying Alfonso Linares, and her going to the covenant, or dying. This event broke Father Damaso's heart. At the end of the novel, after he was transferred to another town to be its curate, he was found dead with unknown causes, possibly depression.

The Franciscan Mission Concepción (Misión Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción de Acuña) was one of five baroque mission churches and defense complexes the Spaniards built in the early 18th century to defend the Northern boundary of the Spanish colonial empire against French incursions. The five fortified Franciscan mission churches were built along the San Antonio River about three miles apart.
Construction of the Mission Concepción began in 1731, and the church was dedicated in 1755. The church is a fine example of Spanish Baroque colonial architecture. In its heyday, colorful geometric designs covered its surface inside and out. The exterior patterns have long since faded or been worn away, but some interior frescoes remain. The Mission Concepción is the least restored of the five San Antonio mission churches.

The Panjim Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is placed on the hillside and just high above the Idalco Palace built by Adil Shah. Standing on the gallery of the church, you can see the entire view of the lovely Panjim city. It is one of Panjim’s best attractions located in the heart of Panjim city and is the first church of Goa, built in 1541.
In this century this area was hilly and residential. Land around was swampy covered by the field of paddy, coconuts groves and watery. It was in 1843 the land was developed by the Viceroy when he took over Panjim; and in the year 1855 the ‘Praca de Flores’ (Square of Flower’s) was built in front of the church. In the year 1619 the church was re-constructed by enlarging it further looking at the population growth.
The decoration of the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception church is simple, but still it is amazing to the eyes because of it simplicity. In the year 1871, the great bell belonging to the Augustinian Church of Our Lady which is in Old Goa was brought here in Panjim Church to install. After the Golden Bell in Se Cathedral, this is second bell which is large and heavy in weight and due to this the whole pediment of the façade was renovated and increased in the size.
The Panjim Church has ordinary interior. The main altar is honoured to Mary Immaculate, and it has two more altars, on the left is Jesus crucified and to the right is Our Lady of the Rosary. On the both sides there are two marble statues, one of St. Peter and one of St. Paul. On the right of the main altar in the south transept there is a Chapel of St. Francis Xavier.
The area above the church on hilltop is called Bairro Altos de Pilotos because large beacons used to be lit here to guide ships into the estuary before the light house. On the right side of the church down to the lane little further is Secretariat Building. On the down the lane few steps is Jama Masjid and built in is a Muslim College. Further on the street is the Hindu Mahalaxmi Temple which is main temple in Panjim, In front of the church is the view of Municipal Garden, hotels, boutiques etc.
The feast of the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception church is celebrated on 8th December every year. During its feast this church is beautifully decorated with lights and decoration and the entire Church Square is occupied by a lively fair. Infact this location of the church is so popular that many film shootings have been carried on this place. Standing on the high on the hill this church is indeed the crown of the Panjim city.
The Baclayon Church is the oldest Catholic stone church building in the Philippines. It was constructed during the Spanish occupation and the first Spanish missionaries (called doctrineros) settled in the area in the late 15th century. Today you can still see the original stone structure of the Baclayon Church in the City of Tagbilaran, Bohol, Philippines.
There are other preserved church buildings in the region but the Baclayon Church is the best preserved among them. The church itself is Jesuit, but the Baclayon Church (the one we see today) was completed in 1727. The erected church building known today as the Baclayon Church is formally known as The Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.

The Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Baclayon is considered to be one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It is one of the best presevered Jesuit build churches in the region, although in the 19th century, the Augustinian Recollects added a modern facade and a number of stone buildings that now surround the church. The first Spanish missionaries or doctrineros in the region, first settled in Baclayon in 1595. Shortly after their arrival, a visita was erected on the spot. Although Baclayon was the first seat of the Spanish Jesuit missionaries. Only in 1717, Baclayon became a parish, and construction of a new church commenced. Some 200 native forced laborers constructed the church from coral stones, which they took from the sea, cut into square blocks, and piled on to each other. They used bamboo to move and lift the stones in position, and used the white of a million eggs as to cement them together. The current building was completed in 1727. The church obtained a large bell in 1835. In the Baclayon church is a dungeon, which was used to punish natives who violated the rules of the Roman Catholic Church.
