The church is one of the few well-built
stone churches in Cebu judging from
the harmony in design and the carefullayout. It is perhaps the only Spanish
colonial church in the island built with a
main nave that is flanked on both sideswith a low structure that serve as the
aisles.

Baroque-Rococco Architecture
8/6/2019 Southern Heritage Tour
32/64
Baroque architecture is a term used to
describe the era, starting in the late 16thcentury in Italy, that took the humanist
Roman vocabulary of Renaissance
architecture and used it in a newrhetorical, theatrical, sculptural fashion,
expressing the triumph of absolutist
church and state. The style wascharacterized by new architectural
concerns for color, light and shade,
sculptural values and intensity.
