Saint John the Evangelist Parish Church, commonly known as Tanauan Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Tanauan, Batangas, Philippines.
Built in 1881, the church's facade was heavily influenced by Romanesque and Renaissance architectures. Its bell towers are topped by Baroque-styled domes. In addition, the church's compound has 14 life-sized Stations of the Cross.[1]
The church was renovated in 1948 after being damaged in the World War II.[2] The National Historical Institute, now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines,[3] installed a historical marker on the church in 1991.[4]
