 LESSON

BAROQUE ARTS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Art forms in the Philippines are diverse. Western influences can

be seen in Philippines arts such as painting, dancing, weaving,

sculpting, and pottery.

In the 16th century, the Baroque style was carried by the Spanish

and Portuguese to the Philippines where it became the prominent

style of building for large and small churches.

Large baroque churches often have a proportionally very wide

façade which seems to stretch between the towers. During this

time, the Spaniards used paintings as religious propagandas to

spread Catholicism throughout the Philippines. These paintings,

appearing mostly in church walls featured religious figures in

Catholic teachings.

The pre-colonial architecture of the Philippines consisted of nipa

huts made from natural materials. However, there are some

traces of large-scale construction before the Spaniards came. An

example of this is the pre-colonial walled city of Manila which

was dismantled by the Spaniards and rebuilt as Intramuros with

its houses, churches, and fortress after the Spanish colonization.

During three hundred years of Spanish colonization, the

Philippine architecture was dominated by Spanish influences.

BAROQUE ARCHITECTURES IN THE PHILIPPINES

San Agustin Church, Manila

The San Agustin Church is patterned after some
of the magnificent temples built by the
Augustinians in Mexico. The atmosphere is
medieval since “both church and monastery
symbolize the majesty and equilibrium of the
Spanish Golden era.

The massive structure of the church is highlighted

by the symmetry and splendour of the interiors
(painted by two Italians) – the profile of the
mouldings, rosettes and sunken panels which
appear as three-dimensional carvings, a baroque
pulpit with native pineapple as motif, the grand
pipe organ, the antechoir with a 16 th century
crucifix, the choir seats carved in molave with
ivory inlays (17th century) and set of 16 huge and
beautiful chandeliers from Paris.

San Agustin Church, Paoay, Ilocos Norte

Paoay Church is the Philippines’

primary example of a Spanish
colonial earthquake baroque
architecture dubbed by Alicia
Coseteng, an interpretation of the
European Baroque adapted to the
seismic condition of the country
through the use of enormous
buttresses on the sides and back of
the building. Javanese architecture
reminiscent of the Borobudur of Java
can also be seen on the church walls
and façade.

Buttresses of Paoay Church

Sto Tomas de Villanueva Church, Miag-ao, Iloilo

The church’s over-all architectural style

falls under the Baroque Romanesque
style. Its ochre color is due to the
materials used in constructing the
church: adobe, egg, coral and limestone.
The church’s foundation is 6 meters
deep and the massive stone walls at 1.5
meters thick are intensified through the
use of 4 meter thick setback buttresses
as protection to the Moro invaders (Royal
Decree 111 of 1573, Law of the Indies).

The façade of Miag-ao church consists of an ornately decorated bas-relief in the

middle of two-huge watch tower belfries on each side. The bas-relief is a mixed
influence of Medieval Spanish, Chinese, Muslim and local traditions and elements,
a unique characteristics of the Church façade. The two huge unequal beltowers
directly attached to the main church serves as watchtowers to defend the town
against invasion of Moros.

Baclayon Church, Bohol

The church, built out of coral stones, is a

cross shaped (cruciform) with its junctures
surmounted by a pyramidal wall. The façade
is designed with its upper half hidden by an
extended choir loft which houses an 1824
pipe organ. The walls of the church were
decorated with icons of an angels’ head and
wings. Inside the church is a Baroque and
Neoclassical pulpit, the tribuna (a private
area for the guest and visiting priest), a silver
sanctuary lamp, and additional details such as sconce hanged on the crossing.

“Sta Maria Church” in Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur

The church of the Our Lady of the

Assumption in Sta Maria is situated in a hill
surrounded by a defensive wall on all sides
like a fortress. The church is reached by
climbing an 85-tep stairway of granite rock.
The church brick façade has one large portal
with three windows. The recessed arched
entrance is flanked by a pair of rectangular
pilaster dividing the façade into a three well-
defined planes. The whole façade is then
framed on the sides by heavy circular buttresses topped by urn-like finals.
