The first known circular chapel in the Philippines, built in 1861. Damaged by the 1991 Pinatubo eruption and a 2019 earthquake, it was controversially repaired in a DIY manner by locals amid limited funds and lack of advice from conservationists.
San Vicente Ferrer Chapel, commonly known as Pio Chapel, is a Roman Catholic chapel located at Barangay Pio, in Porac, Pampanga. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of San Fernando. Built in 1861, the chapel is believed to be the first circular chapel of its kind in the Philippines. In 2019, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake caused the two pilasters on the chapel's facade to collapse.
