The ruins of Old Tanauan (Ruinas de Tanauan) located at the lake shore of Talisay in Batangas Province are remains of a church structure dating to the Spanish Colonial Period of the Philippines. It is the site of the first stone church of Tanauan , before the whole town relocated to its present location in 1754.
First built in 1704, the church was later expanded in 1860 by adding a transept and surrounding it with a wall and watchtowers for defense against pirates. [1] It survived the tidal wave that hit Tanauan in 1897. [2] The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) declared the church a national historical landmark in 1949. [1]
In addition, the church's compound has 14 life-sized Stations of the Cross. [1] The church was renovated in 1948 after being damaged in the World War II. [2] The National Historical Institute, now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, [3] installed a historical marker on the church in 1991. [4]
