It's actually disappointing that the more than a century old church no longer has the looks of its age and was undergoing renovation when Tutubi visited.
Dipolog Cathedral's interiors doesn't have the looks of an old church.
the four evangelists adorn the roof of the church. in typical baroque style churches, the four evangelists can be seen on the four columns supporting the apse (the big dome of churches near the altar)Dipolog Cathedral's claim to fame and history is that Jose Rizal designed the main altar during his exile in Dapitan.
Coming...a brief tour of Dipolog City
a beautiful church, nonetheless. planning to see Dipolog next year so i am looking forward to your photos of the city.
ReplyDeleteluna, my dipolog city tour is a typical one with photos taken inside a van...will definitely post them once i find the time
ReplyDeletethe white colors is a bit of a modern touch but looks nice actually :)
ReplyDeletei wonder if those colors of the church's interior are the same as the original paint.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they always want to modernize the architecture of these century-old cathedrals. It should be kept intact and preserved.
ReplyDeleteIt does have a pretty special look as far as I am concerned.
