St. Martin of Tours Parish Church

Another Capiz best tourist attraction that Dumalag captivate is the Dumalag Parish Church under the Patron St. of Saint Martin de Tours. The first church and convent of Dumalag were constructed between 1600 and 1720, and the parish was dedicated to Saint Martin of Tour, a bishop. The church had a five story bell tower which rose majestically at the left side of the church.

Considered as one of the Capiz best churches, made of yellow sandstone; it is 200 feet long and 50 feet wide. It has two doors at its side and one main doorway in front. There are six windows at each side with columns between them reaching to the roof. These are also small buttresses at the sides. The façade is decorated with small columns.
