Church of St. Catherine, Virgin and Martyr
This interesting and picturesque church is situated near the sea, one kilometer off the highway. It was first built by Fr. Pedro Torrices from 1849-1855 and was finished by Father Luis Lagar in 1875. In 1886, Fr. Jose Rodriguez Prada restored the church and built a belfry. A convent, built by Fr. Rafael Redondo, was eventually destroyed.
Its one-storey Neo-Baroque facade has well emphasized super-positioned coupled piers; a horizontal string cornice designed with block modillon and a undulating Baroque-style triangular pediment. The three-centered depressed arch main entrance, flanked by semicircular arched windows, has jambs bordered by protruding blocks of stone. A circular window, on the choir loft, has lace-like carvings. The bell tower on the right is a new construction.
Address. National Highway, Santa, Ilocos Sur. Tel: (077) 725 5033. Feast of St. Catherine, Virgin and Martyr: November 25.
How to Get There: Santa is located 366.8 kms. from Manila and 41.2 kms. south of Vigan City.
