San Francisco (Naga)
Naga, a component city in the southern part of Cebu, became an independent parish from San Nicolas in June 12, 1829. The church, dedicated to St.Francis of Assisi, was built in 1839 by Fr. Simon Aguirre following the plans of Bishop Santos Gomez Marañon, a known church builder. Construction of the convent followed in 1864 and was completed in 1887. In November 25, 1876 a typhoon destroyed the bell tower but was repaired later on.

The church’s main attraction is it’s FACADE. It is rich in different designs similar to muslim’s and of south americans. This is the most unique facade i’ve ever seen in the province of Cebu. Truly a heritage, worthy of safe-keeping! c”,)
