Heritage Simbahang Bato (Bancuro Ruins)

Simbahang Bato (Bancuro Ruins)

This site is world-class for its "church within a church" design; a smaller, modern chapel was constructed inside the massive, roofless original stone walls. It is a rare architectural testament to resilience, having survived 18th-century Moro raids, and remains a living heritage site where the community continues to hold religious services amidst the ruins.
