Bohol Religious Tourist Attractions

Alburquerque Church, Dimiao; 12 km. from Tagbilaran City

Founded in 1869, this imposing structure is famous for its sturdy arches supporting a pathway that connects the church to the convent.

Baclayon Church, Baclayon; 6 km. from Tagbilaran City

One of the oldest stone churches in the Philippines. This ancient massive edifice still retains its century-old architectural design. Both in the external and internal portions of the church are various interesting relics and artifacts dating back to the early 16th century, which have been placed at the Baclayon Museum. Baclayon is also the oldest town in Bohol and the mother town of Alburquerque, Balilihan, and Sikatuna.

Calape Church, Calape; 41 km. from Tagbilaran City

The church is known to be the most artistic in medieval design, making it one of a kind in the province.

Dauis Church, Dauis; 3 km. from Tagbilaran City

This is one of Bohol’s beautiful churches which has retained its Spanish architecture although it has a semi-modern façade. The church interior has life-like murals painted on the ceiling. The patron saint, the Virgin of the Assumption, is believed to possess miraculous powers. It is the object of the faithful, who attend its annual festivities. Legend has it that when the town was invaded by pirates, the townfolk locked themselves inside the church until they ran out of water and provisions. Then suddenly a well appeared at the foot of the altar where people started drawing water. It is still the main source of water for the people living in the church vicinity. Surprisingly, the water is absolutely fresh even as the well is located only a few meters from the sea.

Dimiao Church, Dimiao; 36.7 km. from Tagbilaran City

This centuries-old Roman Catholic church stands sturdy and in possession of relics of the friar days, being preserved for posterity, reflecting the culture and traditions of its people who are deeply religious.

Lord of Pardon Hill, Duero; 73 km. from Tagbilaran City

A mass site during the Holy Week, where along the way are cemented structures of the 14 Stations of the Cross with a big black cross at the top of the hill.

Loboc Church, Loboc; 24 km. from Tagbilaran City

Second oldest church in Bohol built in 1608. With a three storey convent, a coat of arms can be found in the stonewall at the entrance of the convent.

Loon Church, Loon; 25 km. from Tagbilaran City

A long flight of 174 stone steps believed to be the longest step stairway in the country, reminiscent of Spanish era forced labor. The stairway connects Napo, the former seat of the town, to the church.

Maribojoc Church, Maribojoc; 14 km. from Tagbilaran City

This parish was founded in 1768, built in 1798, and fully constructed after 18 years. It has pipe organ at the choir loft and a beautiful altar.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Balilihan; 22 km. from Tagbilaran City

The church surely would attract the artistic eye with its ceilings decorated with paintings that are replicas of famous ancient artworks.

Virgen sa Calo-oy, Calape; 41 km. from Tagbilaran City

Discovered and patronized by Catholics for more than a century. The image of the Virgin is believed to be growing from an empty giant shell. From a mere obscure figure, the image now is very visible, showing the beautiful virgin with the giant shell in the background.

Cruz Daku, Loboc; 26.5 km. from Tagbilaran City

A famous pilgrimage destination of the faithful during the Holy Week. A huge white cross 80 feet in height is on top of the highest hill, where one can view the neighboring towns, including Tagbilaran City.

Panglao Church, Panglao; 18 km. from Tagbilaran City

The church which is located on the southwestern shore of Panglao Island is worth a visit for its twin antique confessionals carved with grape and dove patterns. Its ceiling murals depict the Seven Sacraments.

Ilihan Hill, Jagna; 54 km. from Tagbilaran City

Ilihan Hill has become a religious site for pilgrimage. It is located about four kilometers from Jagna town passing through a winding road uphill. It overlooks Mindanao sea and the evening scenery is beautiful. Sunrise and early morning provide respite. On top of the hill is the image of the Barangay sang Birhin, where a chapel has been built in her honor.

Mt. Carmel Hill, Balilihan; 22 km. from Tagbilaran City

On top of the hill towers the centuries-old Spanish belfry, the only historical landmark left to shed light on the past and the town’s history. Constructed in 1835-1844 from materials gathered by foot from Baclayon, its mother town, the belfry has withstood natural calamities and the test of time.

The Fatima Rosary Hill, Carmen; 55 km. from Tagbilaran City

The hill in Barangay Buenavista is a pilgrim site for the devotees of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Fatima. Spiritual recollection becomes more enhancing on top of this hill where one can look at the wide plains of Carmen below.
