An enchanting visit to Siquijor is not an enchanting visit without knowing enchanting places and historical sites! 🙌👌

1. Siquijor Bell tower: 1st picture - The National Historical Institute marker plastered on the church wall, teaches me that the parish was founded in 1783. That makes this the oldest church, convent and bell tower on Siquijor Island. It is not a touristic hot spot but worth a visit. Enormous beams show ancient craftsmanship and the convent holds some historical features that are a must see for history lovers, like the huge plaque above the entrance. The balconies and the clearly visible beams that keep op the second floor of the building.

2. St. Francis Of Assisi Church: 2nd picture- Upon arrival at the Siquijor port, the St. Francis of Assisi Church is there to welcome visitors and returning locals. Often called as the Siquijor Church, the St. Francis of Assisi parish was established by secular priests on February 1, 1783 with St. Francis of Assisi as their patron. It was turned to Recollect priests in 1793. A secular lay, P. Setten, began the construction of the stone structure, under the supervision of P. Alonso de los Dolores from 1795 to 1831. A convent was also built to hide people to defend the island from pirates.

3. Siquijor Triangular Landmark: 3rd picture - In front of the church (St. Francis Assisi Church) is the Triangular Landmark having the 'Welcome to Siquijor' sign. The church is made of stone and cruciform while the convent with stone rubble. A belfry is standing on a distance from the church which locals believed that it also served as a defensive structure, and a watchtower.

4. Kanheron Ranch: 4th picture - You will have an exotic American Old West museum/experience and original wood artwork gallery. Enjoy the big open space with dramatic architecture, soaring high-beamed cathedral ceiling and eclectic building design artistically made.

5. San Agustin Church: 5th picture - Right in the town of San Juan, the southwestern part of the island, is the San Agustin Church, often called as the Macapilay Church. It overlooks the Capilay Spring Park, at the heart of San Juan. It’s a century old parish, having been part of the Siquijor parish before it became an independent parish in 1863. The church itself looks new but the belfry shows evidence of many years of history and wear and tear.

LAZI

The Lazi Convent is built in the tradition of Filipino Stone Houses or Bahay na Bato. The ground floor is made up of coral stones, similar to the ones made to build the nearby church, and the upper floors of wood. Carved wooden barandillas line the second floor, framing the traditional capiz windows above it. The convent’s tin roof, curving slightly along its apex, doubles the height of the convent making it look quite imposing.
