Parish Church of Patrocinio de Maria (Boljoon, Cebu). Built 18th-early 19th century, under the Augustinians, the church and its decoration are related artistically to those of nearby Argao, Dalaguete, and Samboan; however, Boljoon has arguably the most developed and unique style. The pierced woodwork on the choirscreen and pulpit are among the best in the country. The same goes for the gold-leafing and polychromy on the retablos that have amazingly withstood the salty air wafting in from just a few meters away. The complex includes remains of fortified walls, a cemetery, and a blockhouse. The convento roof still retains the original tiles.
