St. John the Baptist Church

St. John the Baptist Church is a Roman Catholic parish church located in the town center of Daet, capital of Camarines Norte, Philippines. Founded in 1611 by Franciscan missionaries, it is the oldest church in the province and serves as a central religious landmark. The present stone church reflects Spanish colonial architecture and has been rebuilt and restored over centuries. It remains an active parish under the Diocese of Daet and a notable heritage site for visitors.

Visitors can expect an active parish church in central Daet with a Spanish colonial stone facade, bell tower, nave with religious images and stained glass, and a churchyard fronting the town plaza. The interior is used for daily Mass and prayer, with quiet areas for reflection. The surroundings include municipal buildings, shops, and plaza areas within walking distance. Photography of the exterior and interior is generally possible outside of services.
