Marilao Church
Barn-style Baroque Roman Catholic church completed in 1868. It was destroyed by a fire in 1896 amid the Philippine Revolution, but was rebuilt mostly in its original style, although the floor level has been raised due to flooding. Today, the church is an important reference point for both locals and visitors. Its main highlights are the gilded altarpieces and the relic and statues of St. Michael the Arcangel in his signature demon-slayer pose, as well as the gravestones inside the walls.
