Church
Holy Cross Parish (Santa Cruz)
Santa Cruz, Marinduque
The centuries-old parish church of Santa Cruz, dedicated to the Holy Cross, anchors the island's largest town. Its retablo-filled interior and long colonial history make it a quiet counterpoint to the more famous cathedral in Boac.
Best time to visit
Year-round; May 3 for the town fiesta of the Holy Cross.
How to get there
In Santa Cruz town proper, about 1 hour by van or jeep north-east of Boac.
