Founded in 1584, Passi is now a chartered city in the
Province of Iloilo. It is authentic that Passi City had the most colorful
people in the island, the Pintados. However, the history of the church could be
traced back in the early 1600′s but the present church was initiated in 1821-1837. The architectural
style is perhaps undistinguished but it might be referred as Baroque.
It is one of the largest in Iloilo and all sides are
dominated with massive buttresses. There is a confusion about the original
location of the facade.The design is primitive yet there is an artistic carving on
which is possibly the facade.
From the entrance of the Passi Church, a “Jardin de los
Santos” or Garden of Saints can be found at the left side of the building.
