Alimodian was founded in 1717, it was formerly a visita of Oton, and lies on a strategic location bounded by tropical hills. The church Alimodian can be traced back in the 1700's. It was built by Fr. Florencio Martin.
The church then was known to have the most artistic belfry in Panay and Negros Islands. The facade is of unknown architectural style. The artistic belfry was ruined by the 1948 earthquake except for its base level. The design of the original walls and the side portal exudes Neoclassic simplicity. The interior flies further compared to the exterior. The baptistery chapel is a must see since there is an existing brick ceiling. There are mysterious chambers within the church's walls which are of unknown purposes.The reception area beside the church is more than your usual scenario. Even if the convent is ruined, it still adds up a unique european effect, thus making the entire courtyard a grand western garden.
