Barasoain Church (also known as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish) is a Roman Catholic church built in 1630 in Malolos City, Bulacan. Having earned the title as the “Cradle of Democracy in the East”, the most important religious building in the Philippines, and the “site of the First Philippine Republic”, the Church is proverbial for its historical importance among Filipinos.
