The church, built out of
coral stones, is a cross-shaped (
cruciform) church with its juncture or
crossing surmounted by a pyramidal wall. The original tiled roof was replaced by
galvanized iron in 1893.
Façade Prior to restoration the original façade, oriented southwest and located behind the portico, was built together with the stone church of the Jesuits in 1727. It is simply designed, its upper half hidden by an extended
choir loft which houses an 1824 pipe organ. A way of glazed blue tiles connects the façade and
portico, which was added in 1875 as an extension to the façade by the Augustinian Recollects. Murals, mostly replaced by monochromatic tin sheets, were also present on the church's ceilings. Though most ceiling paintings were unpreserved, an original work of Max Aya-ay in 1957 can still be seen on portions of the
crossing. The walls were originally adorned with wooden images of
Stations of the Cross commissioned by Father Úbeda in 1859 which were later replaced by European-made images.
Gospel retablo The side altar located on the left hand side facing the altar is consecrated to the
Santo Niño. Joining the statue of the Holy Child are 19th century images of
Saint Anthony of Padua and
Saint Blaise; and
Saint Lucy on the topmost level. Another smaller neoclassical retablo housing a 19th-century image of
Saint Mary Magdalene is located on the left side of the gospel retablo.
Epistle retablo The opposite side altar on the right side houses another early 19th century image of the
Nuestra Señora de la Consolación (
Our Lady of Consolation) in the central niche. The doors leading to both the ante-sacristy and sacristy is similar to the doors of another Jesuit church, the
Maragondon Church. Other structures around the convent are the Jesuit-built bastion, remnants of an old fortification and a bakery behind the convent which processes egg yolk (unused from using egg as binder in construction of building) into
broas (ladyfingers/sponge-fingers).
Watchtower The quadrangular watchtower, which was also the church's
bell tower, was left unfinished by the Jesuits when they were expelled out of the country. The Augustinian Recollects, who succeeded the Jesuits, completed the watchtower. It is used to be a detached structure from the church and was connected after the addition of the portico. Made of coral stones, it also has a
bas relief of
Saint Andrew with an inscription of the date the tower was finished during Father San Andrés de la Santísima Trinidad's administration, May 20, 1777. It still has the original six out of the nine bells from 1880 to 1894 during Father Cabañas' terms. The seventh bell (1886) is in the church museum while the eight bell (1872) was given to the then newly founded parish of
Corella.
Mortuary chapel Near the baptistery is a separate rectangular mortuary chapel (
ermita de difuntos) built in 1859. A road from the mortuary chapel leads to the cemetery with stone fences. At the middle of the cemetery is a stone chapel and an
ossuary at its back. == Notes ==
