From Maribojoc, we drove still towards north, heading for Loon. It is about 27 kilometers from Tagbilaran City and about 13 kilometers from Maribojoc.

The church of Loon is always a stunning structure to behold, everytime one passes by it. One can't avoid admiring this old church for it is located along the main road of Loon. The church has two bell towers on both sides of its front. Also made of coral rocks, this church was built during the Spanish era. The church is already more than 400 years old.

The inside of the church.		A closer look of the church ceiling.

The church is big and spacious inside. The ceiling is also painted with religious subjects. The ceiling paintings, though beautiful, obviously needs some restoring jobs by experts to preserve its beauty.

The altar.	Slight side view of the church.

The church altar is also beautiful. I can't help but notice the figures of pretty angels above the altar, at the foot of the crucifix. Outside the church, at the right side, is a grotto of the Virgin Mary, where devotees can offer flowers, light candles and say their prayers too.	The grotto of the Virgin Mary.
