Colonial Church of Saint John

Anini y church or the Parish of St. John of Nepomuceno is located at Anini y, Antique. It is the only surviving Spanish church in Antique. It courageously stood the test of time. It was originally built by the Augustinians Friars and is generally made of corals and stones. 



For me, the interior, however, is something you wouldn't imagine given the exterior of the church. You probably would expect something grand but no, it is very simple and it's better off that way since it gives you a more relaxing feel and maybe that was their way to give emphasis to the sanctuary. The entire back wall of the sanctuary was covered with large pebbles and in a way I questioned my self "Can they keep that dust-free?" silly, you may say, but what do you think?
