About the Artwork
Santo Domingo was a former barrio of Ibalon, then the Municipality of Albay, now Legazpi City. It became a separate Municipality in 1749 through the uproar of its inhabitants and under the leadership of Diego Castellanos. But it was not until 1785, 36 years after its establishment as a town, that a church was built. In those days, it was the only church building that represented the town. The first church was made of wood and basag (bamboo split). Here, the statue of the patron saint Santo Domingo (Saint Dominic de Guzman), whose feast is observed every August 4, was placed. When the church was burned in 1882, the Spanish priests built a new one; the present artistic church is with piedras ladradas chiseled balustrades and twin domes.
Bright colors and natural contrasts between earthy shades and vibrant greens create harmony and evoke a sense of peace in the historical setting.
