Grant Description

To support the restoration of San Vicente Ferrer Church in Nueva Vizcaya, built in the 18th century by Dominican Friars. A previous attempt at preservation is causing rapid deterioration of the original relief carvings. The project activities will include corrective conservation and documentation of the building.

Considered one of the best examples of religious colonial architecture in the country, the church was declared a National Cultural Treasure in 2001.
