The Town that Would Never Sink : Narvacan

(This is part of my Ilocos Sur townhopping last June 15-16, 2013)

I have reached Narvacan only 15-20 minutes after leaving the town of Santa Maria. I have included the town in my itinerary because I read from somewhere that it has a beautiful church with centuries old of history tucked within it. As I am really a history and heritage structure buff, I know I have to visit this town. 

Narvacan Church. Ilocos Sur.
The first thing I have seen upon arriving at the town is their spacious plaza in front of a modernly-designed town hall. The Narvacan Plaza is currently undergoing some renovation when I get there so I didn't manage to get good shots of it. It actually has a fountain designed as a galleon, which I am assuming is a reference to the story how the town got it's name.
