| General Note |
- General note - The Jesuits came to the island in 1596 and started building a church in honor of St. Ignatius Loyola, Capul''s patron saint. After the destruction wrought by one of the Muslim raids in 1686, it was reconstructed on the same foundation. This one was improved and enlarged by the Franciscan friar, Fray Mariano Veloso, in 1781. The same cleric undertook the construction of a massive and beautiful bell-tower which for quite a time stood to be the best in the province. (The bell-tower to the right of the church was reduced to half its original size by heavy bombing during the Japanese War.) Another Muslim raid destroyed the building and a third one was built by the Franciscans in 1885. For protection, the newly constructed church was enclosed by a thick walled-fortress with battlements, nearly 3 feet thick at the base in 1888. As it was built to withstand the attacks of nature and hostile sea pirates, the church, while strong and massive, is starkly simple.YYY
