History
Called Ambacon in the past, it was renamed after a place in Spain when it was organized into a town and separated from Inabanga in 1874.
Its church was thus a visita of Inabanga Church since 1835 and became a parish in 1876. Augustinian Recollects took pastoral care of the church from the beginning until 1898.
An earlier church was built in 1883, but the present-day church replaced it upon its completion in 1926.
Architecture
The church is designed with a portico that extends to a bell tower with a pyramidal roof. The image of Sacred Heart of Jesus is located just above the portico. Its pilasters are decorated with finials at their peaks.
