San Guillermo de Aquitania Church, commonly known as Dalaguete Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Dalaguete, Cebu, Philippines. It is dedicated to the French saint William of Gellone, also known as William of Aquitaine. The church was constructed in 1802 and was completed in 1825.[1]
Architecture and style
Dalaguete Church is built of coral stones, has a three-level facade with religious embellished carvings and architectural features, a three-bodied bell tower, and a convent.[2] The church's main building is connected to the bell tower by a low structure and the convent stands across the belfry.[1]
The side windows of the church has pointed arches at the top, hinting a Gothic influence.[1] Inside the church are the ornate main and side retablos in Rococo style, and the ceiling paintings by Canuto Avila and his sons in 1935.[2]
Patron saint
The true identity of the church's patron saint has been a debate for years.[3] It is because the town fiesta of Dalaguete is celebrated not on May 28, which is the feast day of Saint William of Gellone.[4] Instead, the town fiesta is celebrated every February 10, the feast day of another saint with the same name, William of Maleval.[3]
Recognitions
The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared the church as a national historical landmark in 2004.[3] The National Museum of the Philippines declared it a national cultural treasure in 2024.[5]
