I am always fascinated visiting old Churches. That’s why when I have been to Ilocos Region, never had I forgotten to include in my itinerary to visit Paoay Church–a world UNESCO heritage site. I love how the church stands firm though it had been established over hundred of years ago. I would love to visit it again, soon!

I have been to Ilocos but I don’t remember if I’ve visited Paoaay church. It looks so regal and majestic despite being old. Anyway, the empanadas are making me hungry. I wish I could go back sometime soon.Great pictures!

I am very very amazed by the church as well as its significance. It is simply wonderful and it would be first on my ‘to-visit’ list when visiting Paoay. I’ll suggest it to my historian boyfriend who loves visiting places of historical importance. The place with the restaurants is also excellent. That’s my area. I think I would eat in each and every of them. 🙂

How I wish to visit this church now!
I love such old churches, visited several of them myself. This one looks similar to the one in Goa India.
Empanada… a nutritious bite. Must be crispy and crunchy to bite in.

When i first saw Paoay Church, I was also at awe by its beauty. It looks like a virgin lady, untouched by science and any impurities. Perhaps it has been twenty years since my first visit at iIocos and I am not yet that keen on travels. I hope I could go back to Ilocos withmy my family andloves enjoy its beauty, food and culture.

Most of the historical sites in Ilocos are left untouched and well-preserved. I also admired these architectures about three years ago. I should try to visit again. It is better when it is all sunny and brught! Glad you enjoyed your stay!

I’m drooling over that avocado ice cream! I so want one now! Lol. Apart from that, this is a beautiful place. It is really nice that a part of history is kept intact that will tell so many stories to today’s generation and the next generations to come.

Paoay Church is one of the main reasons why I love to visit Ilocos. I would love to see this UNESCO World Heritage Site upclose and personal. I have not seen any of them and I intend to see all of our local UNESCO heritage sites in this lifetime. I sure hope I can visit this place sooner. We’ve been planning to do an Ilocos trip but have not been able to push through with it yet. This is a beautiful and majestic church, any Filipino should see it upclose!
