Daraga Church (1906)
A photoengraving of the Church of Our Lady of the Gate, built atop a small hill at the foot of Mayon Volcano. The facade of this nineteenth-century baroque church is adorned by four solomonic columns twisting their way upward to the second storey. It is elaborately covered with symmetrically positioned alcoves and niches containing statues of saints. Even the side entrances are crowned with intricate stone carvings.
