Facade of Saint Gregory Parish


Indang Church

I have shared you the massive and old-world style of the parish's interior in this post, Saint Gregory the Great. Surprisingly, all the huge space and massive perspectives inside is housed in something that looks a little smaller when you look at it from the outside. The facade features a geometric design in ash colored stones with white painted accents.

Completed in the year 1710 during the Spanish colonial era, one thing I like about this church, which is common in the upland towns of Cavite, is the flower box path that leads you to the church entrance from the gate of the church lot. These boxes have different leafy ornamental plants and lamp posts that are decorated every town fiesta or Christmas season.

  1. 1710! Oh my gosh SQ, for someone who lives in a relatively young country, that is an unbelievable age.. they really knew how to build in those days and it look like it has been well looked after through the years. Super perspective leading up to the entrance of the church.

    1. That is very true Grace! A lot of churches in our province has been built as early as the late 16th century and are still up thanks to the building powers of the early Filipinos and techniques by the early Spaniards. I'm so happy with your comment on the perspective!
