Philippine Church Façades is the largest visual compendium of Philippine churches, with over 600 new and 160 archival photographs, covering virtually every region in the Philippines from Luzon to Mindanao. It is a testament to the Philippines' enduring cultural, architectural, and religious heritage. Through this volume, embark on a fascinating photographic voyage of Philippine churches which is also an encyclopedia of Philippine ecclesiastical architecture. The book features 161 remarkable Catholic churches in the Philippines built between 1565 and 1898. It documents what a legion of native masons, carpenters and designers polished into a definitive Filipino art. The book glorifies the riotous creativity of Spaniards and Filipinos who brought zeal and ingenuity to building wondrous houses of worship. (Source: http://www.vibalpublishing.com)
