I got to view Bacoor Church during my historical tour of Cavite. It was the start finish that I visited during the said trip. I was impressed past times how the interior as well as facade of the church building was maintained. Although at that topographic point are enough of modern things added to the church, the Castilian colonial era experience withal prevails. Overall, Bacoor Church is a perfect house to view for a pilgrimage as well as equally good during your Holy Week's Visita Iglesia.  |
