Visita Iglesia: Dauis Church in Bohol




          The Our Lady of Assumption Church is one of the major tourist attractions in Dauis, Bohol. It is locally known as Señora de la Asunción. 





      The church was founded by the Jesuits Fr. Diego de Ayala and Joseph Gregorio. It is constructed of solid rocks or stones and it has paintings on the walls that are quite attractive. 



         There is a small well inside the church in front of the altar. They consider the water to be holy because it is claimed that it can cure illnesses. It was surprisingly discovered that though the area is surrounded by the ocean, but the water from the well is not very salty and is considered potable.
