Towns and Cities

The Church of St.. Monica, one of the first stone churches in the country, was first built of wood and bamboo in 1842 and later by a larger and sturdier church in 1856. The present coralstone church was started in 1885 by Fr. Manuel Muro (1882 to 1896), continued by his successor in 1896 and completed during the 1920s and 30s. Its Moorish-inspired square bell tower has bells dating to 1867. Inside is a painted ceiling done by Ray Francia from April 12 to August 3, 1932.
The convent was started by Fr. Tomas Fernandez (1869 to 1875) and finished in 1879 by Fr. Antonio Munro (1876-1879). It is connected to the church by a pasadizo (arcade), unique to Bohol, and together they form one of the more picturesque church complexes in Bohol.
The white sand Sta. Fe Beach is located about 1.5 kms. from the town proper.

The town’s Church of the Holy Child, finished in 1926 by Fr. Carlos Ortuoste, has a plain façade and is topped by a 4-sided cupola. Its bell tower, attached to the church’s front and built over a portico, was constructed from 1950-1952. It has two bells (dated 1892 and 1924) and can be reached from the choir loft.
