The Church of the Immaculate Conception, Guiuan

The first church in Guiuan was built in the late 17th century. The original was then replaced with a more permanent structure in 1718. The church survived fires and years of neglect during the Spanish times, and was thus renovated in several occasions.

In 1854, the Franciscans built a bell tower made of stone, a structure that still stands today. Then, the church was then refurbished in 1935.

However, the church was completely destroyed by Super Typhoon Yolanda on 8 Nov. 2013.

Before the Yolanda.
