San Jose Church

San Jose Church

San Jose Church in Ivana, Batanes was built in 1814, although its foundation dates back to 1795.  Of all the old churches in Batanes, it is the only one that was not built in the Espadana style.  It has a crenellated fortress-like campanile or bellower that gives the appearance of a fortification.  Fronts the Ivana Seaport and offers a commanding view of the sea and surrounding countryside due to its elevation.  Located 14 kilometers from Basco, Batanes, the Philippines.
