Welcome to the Philippines!

This model was designed by Dany SƔnchez.
The Saint Augustine Church (Spanish: Iglesia de San AgustĆn de Paoay), commonly known as the Paoay Church, is a Roman Catholic church in the Municipality of Paoay, Ilocos Norte, in the northern and large island of Luzon, in the Philippines. Completed in 1710, the church is famous for its distinct architecture highlighted by the enormous buttresses on the sides and back of the building.
There are records of a parish in this site since 1593, although the current design's construction started in 1694. Some portions of the church were damaged in the 1865 and 1885 earthquakes but were later restored, the latest restoration being done in 2018-2020.
Paoay church is the Philippines' primary example of Spanish colonial earthquake baroque architecture, dubbed by Alicia Coseteng, an interpretation of the European Baroque adapted to the seismic condition of the country through the use of enormous buttresses on the sides and back of the building.
It is declared as a National Cultural Treasure by the Philippine government in 1973 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the collective group of Baroque Churches of the Philippines in 1993 (From Wikipedia).
