Santa Cruz Church was the 3rd church building that nosotros visited during our Laguna-Quezon Visita Iglesia. Despite beingness rebuilt decades ago. Santa Cruz Church yet retains its Spanish-era feel. nosotros didn't rest long inwards the church building though because traffic is manifestly edifice upwardly (or perhaps nosotros are simply inwards ane of the to a greater extent than populated business office of Laguna). After doing several Stations of the Cross in addition to some photograph sessions nosotros headed out to our side past times side church.

Overall, It's adept to complaint that despite beingness rebuilt, the church building yet retained its Castilian era look. If it was remodeled to a to a greater extent than acquaint look, I'd likely skip it for some other church.
