 Architectures
Parola Park
Parola Park located at Lumang Bayan,
Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro, it was
built in 1861 to protect the natives
from pirate attacks, and in 1896 a bell
was installed to warn the residents of
the impending raids. Cannon was installed
to protect the town and as of now it is
standing in its glory, church was also built
in the area which withstood the elements
that only lasted for ten years, but now only
the ruins are left.

San Sebastian Parish Church

San Sebastian Parish is a Roman Catholic
Church located at in the town of Sablayan,
Occidental Mindoro. Spanish government
had the town's inhabitants pay taxes so
that they could build a stone church, convent
and fort at a hilly part of the village. The
church that stands today at the town may
have been built from 1832-1835, and
its advocacy was placed under San Sebastian.
Kuta Shrine

Located at Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro.

The church was built from corals and
limestone by Augustinian Recollects in the
early 17th century. The church served as a
place of worship and a walled fortress against
Moro invaders. While legends have it that the
church was constructed overnight, studies show
that the church was constructed over time,
through many years of constant renovations.
In 1737, however, the church was abandoned
due to the Moro's constant attacks. The church
is believed to have been burned down. Today,
the shrine merely serves as the town's symbolic
feature.

Muelle Cross
The Cross at Muelle is a marble cross
established to commemorate the sinking
of the battleship Canonero Mariveles at the
Manila Channel on November 18, 1879.
Today it is one of the historical landmarks
in Puerto Galera. A wooden cross was built
at Muelle Pier as a memory of the valiant crew
and of the ship itself, with it an inscription
that paid homage to the ship and crew. Much
later in 1938, the cross was renovated by Luis
Gomez y Sotto and the structure replaced by
sturdier marble.
Bancuro Church Ruins

The Bancuro Church Ruins, popularly known

as the Simbahang Bato is located in Brgy.
Bancurro in Naujan. The Simbahang Bato
is an ancient, roofless ruin of a church
and priory built during the 17th century.
They built it with stone walls that served
as the house of worship and at the same
time as a fort and a place of refuge against
the Moro invaders. A small chapel is now
located within its massive walls, earning
its moniker “a church within a church”.
It is now one of the most famous tourist
destinations in Naujan.
