Molo Church

The feminist church of Molo was built in 1831. It was built not only as a house of worship but as a monument of Ilonggo artistry in the world of Classic architecture . The overall design is Gothic Reniassance minus the flying butresses and the gargoyles. The interior is a fusion of Gothic and Romanesque architectures, there is a constant alternation between the overpowering features of Gothic and the recessive characteristics of Romanesque.
The Spires of Molo are yet the most interesting colonial skyscrapers in Iloilo City aside from the Neoclassic Belfry of Jaro. Images of 16 Female saints can be found inside, hence the church gained the title 'Women's Church'. Historty says that when Joze Rizal visited Iloilo, he adored the church becuase of its beautiful biblical paintings.Photos by: Explore Iloilo
