Lazi Convent by iamdencio

Lazi Convent

Lazi convent in Siquijor, is an imposing U shaped two story structure whose size is approximately 50 x 50 meters – a size considered to be colossal in that period of time. This building was used by friars for among other things, a place of rest and recreation. It is a typical Bahay na Bato (stone house), one with a ground floor made of a thick stone layer and the second level, of hardwood studs and panels. Construction for the convent began in 1887 and finished in 1891.
