Sto. Domingo Church in Albay

The Sto. Domingo Church is the most imposing historical landmark of the municipality. The majesty of this church speaks of ingenuous antiquity.

This panoramic edifice stands towering – a living testimonial of the past. Indeed, an indelible fragment of the three centennial rule of the Spanish conquistadores in this tiny but vibrant municipality.

Ever since the birth of this church in the year 1820, the people of Sto. Domingo derive from it a sense of pride. It is massively built and has two symmetrical towers (simborios) with bells hanged on it. It has solid and rectangular shaped stones for its walls.

The lumber and woods that had been used for its constructions were the best of its kind. Even with those heavy materials within and out, the church stands without pillars in the middle of the framework, thus making it unique from among other churches.
