St. Catherine de Alexandria Catholic ChurchSt. Catherine de Alexandria Catholic Church is a Registered Property, Municipality of Tayum, Abra located at Tayum, Abra, CAR.
St. Catherine de Alexandria Catholic Church is the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit. A well-preserved centuries-old, 16th Spanish colonial era church.
The church has a "palayok" art motif and is predominantly Baroque in style. Its first level is devoid of any embellishment save for the main semicircular, arched portal and the wave-live cornices and rounded high-relief pilasters.
A similar motif has been adapted on the second level of the facade, which is pierced by three windows. The center of the softly undulating pediment showcases one blind window encased by pilasters. The curved pediment ends smoothly into two large volutes which seat beside two large, urn-like finials. The pediment is surmounted by a huge, knob-like finial. To the right of the facade stands the four-tiered bell-tower with its rectangular base and octagonal upper levels.
