Old Molo Church in Iloilo exudes an aura of majestic beauty and architecture reminiscent of the Gothic architecture of Medieval Europe. Many are one in saying that it is one of the most visually appealing of all the churches in the Philippines.
The early history of the Molo Church was marked by constant renovation; as with most of the early churches in the Philippines, this was built using nipa courtesy of Fr. Jose Ma. Sichon back in the early 1860s. In 1870 however it was decided that the church needed to be reconstructed, and it was then that the Gothic and Romanesque elements were added.
