			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-316" title="DSC_1732" src="http://visita-iglesia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/DSC_1732.JPG" alt="DSC_1732" width="590" height="393" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The massive white coral baroque style church dedicated to San Juan Nepomuceno was built around 1630-1638 by priests working in Antique. It could be Fr. Hipolito Casiano but there was no evident recorded of the identity of the person who constructed it. It is the oldest, only century-old existing church in Antique. <span id="more-94"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Their foundation, which still exists, is 33 m long and 13 m wide. The new foundations close to the original measures 48m x 12.5m long. In 1879, Fr. Jeronimo Vaquerin finished the construction. It was almost totally destroyed during the war; some parts can be seen besude the modern concrete and wood convent in order to keep memories of the past. It was Fr. William Erickweld who took effort in the restoration of the edifice to its original splendor. The original look was somehow maintained. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">It has a single-rectangular level and a triangular pediment with a niche in the center, flanked by two rose-windows and ending upon finials. The lower level is composed of two central pilasters divided into three equal sections. Rosette edges the upper part of the main entrance; the same pattern adorned the other openings and niches of the façade and side walls. Two stained niches are found on the main entrance and is topped by two identical rose windows. Three-story hexagonal belfry has one arched window on each level and is roofed with a rounded dome. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The façade is breathtaking because of its clear, new baroque design and easy linear movement. Floriated capitals of the pilasters carved in coral stones. </span></p>
