Taal Basilica: Asia's Biggest Catholic Church
by: anakngkidlat
After conquering Mt. Talamitam, we had to take a jeepney ride to Taal, Batangas specifically the Taal Basilica. It was late in the afternoon when we departed from Sitio Bayabasan and the trip took 2 hours or so. The Church which is also known as Basilica de San Martin de Tours stands 96 meters long and 45 meters wide. it was so hard to take a picture of the basilica that I had to step back too far.
We had limited time to check the church and the surrounding houses that seem to have resemblance to Vigan.
It was getting dark so we had to call it a day. If we would be given a chance, we might return there.
The Philippines is truly blessed with such great works of architecture. A testament to human creativity for future generations to learn and admire.
Special thanks to Brian (http://xplorerboyz.blogspot.com/) for some of the pictures in this blogpost.
