Began construction in 1885 and completed in 1888, Barasoain Church is a stunning example to the period in which Baroque architecture in Spanish structures built in the Philippines has become popular. The presence of the stone church also implies the presence of a well-built community with religion placed in great importance.
Barasoain Church is an example of the typical church-convent-patio design of churches built during the Spanish period. The structure adopts elementary and well defined lines following the period’s trends. Various European historical styles, predominantly Baroque revival, were employed. The eclectic composition made use of the Early Renaissance technique of transfiguring the classical temple form into a new shape, in the case of Barasoain, into a Baroque oval-based design of the church facade. Then details and elements from Romanesque and Neo-classic styles were proportionally copied with delicate balance onto the basic façade outline.
