@joko.delicano: 📍Taal Basilica Taal, BATANGAS The Minor Basilica and Parish of Saint Martin of Tours (commonly known as the Taal Basilica) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica located in the heritage town of Taal, Batangas, Philippines. It is widely recognized as the largest Catholic church in the Philippines and in all of Asia. History: The original church was built in 1575 by Augustinian missionaries in San Nicolas, but it was destroyed by the catastrophic 1754 eruption of the Taal Volcano. The present stone structure on the hilltop in Taal town was built between 1856 and 1878, and later designated as a minor basilica in 1954. #batangas #taal #calabarzon #travel #project82ph
