Baclayon is one of Bohol's oldest towns, renowned for the Baclayon Church, a Jesuit-built structure dating back to the 1700s. The church houses a museum displaying religious artifacts and offers a glimpse into the island's colonial past. Beyond history, Baclayon is a popular launch point for early-morning dolphin-watching excursions in the Bohol Sea. Visitors can also explore the town's quiet streets, sample local delicacies like peanut kisses, and enjoy views of the coast from the church's bell tower.
