Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception (Guiuan, Eastern Samar). Built by the Jesuits in the early 18th century and further decorated by the Franciscans in the 19th. The decoration of shells and coral throughout the church and especially in the baptistry is most impressive and the only one of its kind in the country. There are remains of fortifications throughout the complex.

An 18th century church built by the Jesuits. One of the most beautifully preserved baroque styled churches in the whole Philippines. Guiuan's pride and jewel.

This Baroque church is included in the tentative list of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
