San Agustin Church, which was built in 1587, is one of the country’s four Baroque churches, collectively designated in 1993 as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The San Agustin Museum and Cultural Center right beside it has two floors, several galleries, and hallways that showcase religious art. Notable displays include recreated pharmacy pots from the 16th century, litograph prints of Philippine flowers, and shelves with books dating all the way from 1522.
