Saint Bartholomew Parish Church, commonly known as Baao Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Baao, Camarines Sur, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Caceres. The first church, which was constructed in 1684, was destroyed by a typhoon in 1706. The second church, erected in 1731, was damaged by an earthquake in 1811. The church's subsequent reconstruction was completed only in 1850.[1] The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared it a national historical landmark in 1939.[2]
