Our Lady of Lourdes, Salasa Church (Bugallon)

 church, place with historical importance, Roman Catholic church

Original church of old town Salasa. In the early part of the 20th century, flooding and erosion threatened the entire town of Salasa. Plans for this church were to be moved to the town of Anagao, but lifting machines and personnel could not move or lift the artifacts inside the church. Considered to be divine intervention the church and artifacts stayed. It is rumored the builders who tried to dismantle the church died one after the other. Another attempt was made to move the church to the new town of Bugallon but were met with the same results, Bugallon later established their own church. The impressive huge structure of the original bell tower was knocked down and destroyed during one of the strongest typhoons to hit Pangasinan.
