Dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, this church called Magdalena Parish Church took 16 years to build and was finished in 1855. The belltower was added in 1861 and later on, the convent in 1872. All the materials used in building the church including sand and stones were transported by the townsfolks through the river.
The first parish priest was stationed on August 5, 1821 in the person of Friar Antonio Moreno.
This church, being part of the national history, is being preserved and was used on several occasions as backdraft or location of many Philippine movies.
