San Juan Bautista Church in Tabaco City

Tabaco Church

The Tabaco Church in Tabaco, Albay was founded by the Franciscans in 1587 under the patronage of San Juan Bautista. Formerly a visita of Cagsawa, it was separated in 1616 and became an independent parish in 1664. In 1750 its administration was handed over to the secular priests.

By virtue of P.D. 260 (1 August 1973) as amended by P.D. 1505 (11 June 1978), this church was declared as a National Landmark.
