Baclayon Town Hall
Baclayon, a town in the southwestern coast of the province, always makes it on my list of stopovers in Bohol. It must be the cool sea breeze, the warmth and simplicity of the locals, and the laidback way of life that prods me to revisit the place every now and then whenever I'm in the island. 
Facade of Baclayon Church
Here, you can also find the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church, the second oldest stone church in the Philippines, which was founded by the Jesuits in 1596.
Baclayon Museum
Adjacent to the edifice is the old convent which features a small museum with centuries-old ivory statues, golden vests, and other precious religious relics and antiquities, dating back to the 16th century.
Baclayon lighthouse
Recently, I noticed a new lighthouse and a promenade for tourists. Seems the town is going great guns these days.
Let the pictures tell you the beauty of this tranquil Bohol town.
