Argao Church

The Argao Church (St. Michael the Archangel Parish) is a must visit whenever dropping by the town of Argao situated at the southern part of Cebu Island’s east coast. Argao became a parish in 1703, which prompted the construction of a beautiful Rococo-Baroque church structure in 1734 and was completed in 1788. The Argao Church and Convent sits within an enclosed fort-like complex surrounded by thick walls. Despite some renovations and modernizations done to it, the San MiguĂ©l Archangel Parish still remains one of the richly furnished churches in the South.
