Historical Marker: Baler Church in Aurora Province

One of the must-see tourist attraction. I remember this church when I first saw from the movie "Baler" starring Anne Curtis-Smith & Jericho Rosales - Actor and like to surf in Baler in Aurora Province. This is the first stop over of our 3 days trip in the province. Baler Catholic Church is also known as " The Siege of the Church of Baler". This historical landmark have a unique interior design and landscape outside the church. The church is not so big compared to other church in the country and great touristic background, simple yet elegant architecture design.

We took about 20 minutes at this church and visit other place around. After visiting the church, we proceed to the Museo De Baler located at the town proper, a few hundred meters away.
