Molo Church, officially St. Anne Parish Church, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture in the Philippines. Built in the 19th century, it is often called the 'feminist church' because of its unique collection of statues depicting only female saints, which line both sides of the nave. The church's exterior features twin spires and intricate stonework, while inside, the altar and stained-glass windows add to its grandeur. Located in the Molo district, it is a must-see for its distinctive design and historical significance.

Don't miss

  • Count the statues of female saints along the nave, over a dozen in total.
  • Admire the Gothic twin spires and ornate stone facade.
  • Attend a mass or quiet visit to appreciate the serene interior.
