Sta Cruz. Church

This church is the oldest church in the province, built in 1714.  Located in the biggest town, proudly stands this centuries old church. The church was renovated except for the bell tower and the altar.

Church's altar

From all the churches I've seen in Marinduque, this one has the grandest nave and altar.  Not as big as the Boac Cathedral but has its own allure. Like most of the churches in the Philippines, this one also has a cross-shape structure.

The church houses old paintings and sculptures that add to its attractions. This is very far from our town, Buenavista, but that long travel is all worth it.  I love old churches and I'm always amazed with them.
