The convent of the Barasoain Church in Malolos is home to the Museum of the Republic of 1899 (Museo ng Republika ng 1899). Initially built in 1859 using nipa and bamboo, the church underwent two reconstructions. Today's visible structure was constructed in 1885 under Father Juan Giron, O.S.A.'s supervision, and is a prime example of Spanish colonial architecture. | The convent of the Barasoain Church in Malolos is home to the Museum of the Republic of 1899 (Museo ng Republika ng 1899).

The Barasoain Church in the Philippines is an example of the typical architectural style during the Spanish colonial period. Its design follows well-defined lines and draws inspiration from European historical styles, particularly the Baroque revival. The church's eclectic composition includes elements from Early Renaissance, Romanesque, and Neo-classic styles. The church's facade features a distinctive oval-based Baroque design, blending elements from Romanesque and Neo-classic styles for a harmonious composition. | |||
The church has a single nave divided into three open aisles, supported by wooden posts. The ceilings were reconstructed in the late 1980s to replicate the original oval-arched design. The wooden retablo revealed the original stone altar. The floor was raised twice due to flooding, with baldoza tile replaced with granolithic topping and Bulacan marble veneers. The design influenced by Romanesque revival, features a rose window, arches, solid bell tower walls, machicolations, battlements, and a pointed pyramidal cap. | |||
The second floor of the church, made entirely of timber, features local architectural features like capiz windows and transoms for natural light and ventilation. Hand-lathed window mullions add ornamental accents. High ceilings, a connecting corridor, a balcony, and a high-pitched roof enhance the structure's resilience to inclement weather. The church features a bell tower, an adoration chapel, a devotional chapel with candle racks, and several sculptures throughout the premises. | |||

According to Mr.Perez, "My favorite will always be the historical Barasoain Church. It already has different versions because it has been restored many times because of fire," he also shared that he should personally see a church to paint it. That's his trick in giving each of his paintings its own story and personal. Heritage churches and other religious subjects are on exhibit until March 16 at the Museo ng Republika ng 1899 in Malolos, Bulacan, or the Barasoain Church Historical Landmark Museum. | According to Mr. Perez, "My favorite will always be the historical Barasoain Church.
