The Church of Santa Maria:
The Church of Santa Maria dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels
About the Church: The first Church was built in 1613 by Father Geronimo Vasquez. It was destroyed during the Chinese Uprising of 1639. The church was rebuilt in 1669 but was destroyed by an Earthquake in 1880. In 1891 the Church was rebuilt by Father Leopoldo Arellano. It was destroyed on August 20,1937 by an Earthquake. The present Church was rebuilt soon after.
My Thoughts About the Church: the Town of Santa Maria is often bypassed as the Town is not along the main Highway. But the trip to the Town is worth it as the Church stands proudly in the Town Center. An Old and Elegant Church, One of Laguna’s Gems.
