The old structure of the Janiuay Church, destroyed during World War II. It was built between 1830 to 1871. The ruins of the old church of Janiuay is located right beside its new church.
Judging from what is left, the Janiuay Church was built as a Neoclassical Structure with brick walls decorated with arched openings and engaged columns and pilasters made of coral stone.

sadly i’ve never been to Janiuay, the farthest town i’ve been in Iloilo was Sta. Barbara and Miagao. looks like they’re rebuilding the church. i don’t like ruins being rebuilt coz rebuilding ruins takes off the history of the town itself. haaa but i think it’s for the better also.
I like to see these pics of the church where I was baptized. It brings me back to where I came and grew up from but hopefully the restoration process of this historical portion will not last a long time and more studies will be considered to make the building if not exactly the same, at least closer to the original state. Maybe the same process to what was applied during the restoration process of the Guimbal church that was performed by Penasales Planners which I was luckily and proudly involved with.
Great job on the part of this website.
