Tigbauan Church

The artistic retablo-facade of Tigbauan Church is a fine example of Churrisguresque architecture. Many accounts define the church as Latin in style since there are existing Mexican inspired features within the portal relief. Each carving is finely detailed. There is no sign of boldness, but there is a light floating effect created as the relief narrows up while sprawling towards the cornice which seperates the pediment from the other parts of the facade. Bent winged cherubs and varied floral carvings dominate most of the relief. Aside from the relief, everything else is left rough and plain. The carvings may not be very visible since it drowns from the rugged and irregular texture of the limestone used on the facade.
