Navalas Church: a living legacy of Guimaras
Built in 1880, the Navalas Church is the oldest roman catholic church and the only existing heritage church in the Island of Guimaras. The architecture of this quaint church is reminiscent of the Jaro Cathedral in Iloilo, which is due to Guimaras being a vista of Jaro during the Spanish period.
The Navalas Church has a charming garden in its front yard and is enclosed by an old stone fence. Standing prominently in front is a watchtower, which served to make early warnings of impending attacks by pirates.
The Navalas Church is located in Brgy Navalas in Buenvista, Guimaras. From Parola, Iloilo City is a 15 minute ride to McArthur’s Wharf and from there one can arrange transportation through the Tourist Assistance Center in the wharf. From McArthur’s Wharf it is another 40 minute ride to Navalas Church. For more information contact Fr. Mario G. Enarsao at 09175367369.
