Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception

The Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic church in the Archdiocese of Lipa on the Philippine island of Luzon. Completed in 1857 in a classicist style, it was built during the final decades of Spanish colonial rule — a period when the Catholic church anchored civic and spiritual life across Philippine towns. Its elevation to a Basilica minor, an honorific title granted by the Holy See, confers special liturgical privileges and distinguishes it from ordinary parish churches. The church's dedication to the Immaculate Conception ties it to one of the most deeply held Marian devotions in Philippine Catholic culture. Today it serves as a focal point for community worship and religious gatherings across the wider Batangas province.
