Right across from the Lazi Convent is the San Isidro Labrador Church, another well-preserved piece of Spanish-era architecture. Built in the late 1800s, it’s made from coral stone and wood, and still stands strong today. The design is simple but impressive, with thick walls, a high ceiling, and an old bell tower beside it.
Inside, the church feels peaceful and quiet, with soft natural light coming through the windows. The air smells slightly of wood and age, like an old library or family home. It’s still an active place of worship, but visitors are welcome to look around respectfully.
Together with the convent next door, the church makes up one of Siquijor’s National Cultural Treasures. It’s a meaningful stop for anyone curious about the island’s past, its quiet faith, and its long-standing connection to history.
