STO. ROSARIO CHURCH

📍Sagay, Camiguin

Santo Rosario Church, also known as Our Lady of Holy Rosary Church, is a simple yet splendid century-old church. Stepping inside the church will give you a glimpse of the town’s past and the role it played in history. Like most old churches, Santo Rosario Church was built in 1882 using coral stones and underwent some renovations to strengthen the new structure. It is commonly referred to as the “Green Church” because the materials used in its renovations and furnishings reflect the church designers’ ingenuity and care for the environment. Driftwood chandeliers, the sawali (woven bamboo skin) walls, the ornamental plants at the entrance, bamboo columns, and other local materials will welcome you upon entering the church.
