History
Early in its history, Zarraga was a teeming wilderness. People then cleared the surrounding, and in time the town was established in 1853 and named after Pedro Zarraga, once the mayor of Iloilo City. When the Americans came, it was reduced into a territory of Santa Barbara pursuant to Act No. 719 on April 4, 1903. It was raised to a town once again by virtue of Executive Order signed by President Manuel L. Quezon on August 12, 1940.
Architecture
Piers supporting the arch-portico are embellished by moldings, cartouche, tiled stones, and finials. Its lintel features conjoined triangular lines. The front of the facade is punctured by arch windows and decorated by spires. On the pediment right above the portico is a rose window, and it is topped with two-bodied lantern and a cross. The bell tower is built in the epistle side. Meanwhile, the image of the patron stands in the churchyard garden.
