This 17th century church in Caraga town, Davao Oriental, is one of the oldest churches in Mindanao. It houses a bell that dates way back to 1802.

An antique image of San Isidro Labrador , the town’s patron saint, can still be on its altar.

Built overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the church was also used as a prison by the Spaniards.
