Perhaps the most famous colonial church in the Philippines, the Barasoain Church was started to be constructed in 1885. It is where the Malolos Revolutionary Congress was convened on 15 September 1898. The church’s convent (leftmost building) served as the seat of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo’s revolutionary government who promulgated the Malolos Constitution. General Aguinaldo also established the Literario-Cientifica Universidad de Filipinas in the same place in 1898. The church and convent were declared as a national landmarks in 1973.
