Philippine Panorama Project/Heritage Churches

The Philippine Panorama Project/Heritage Churches is an initiative of the Pilipinas Panorama Community which aims to collect media files of heritage churches across the Philippines for Wikimedia Commons, and eventually to be featured in its respective Wikipedia articles.

As a subproject, the initiative recognizes the importance of preserving heritage churches and their contribution to the rich cultural history of the Filipinos. The Philippine Panorama Project aims to be a tool for this objective through intentional visit and data gathering of its project members.

The project welcomes all features of heritage churches like its exterior design, interior design, porta sancta, historic bells, religious monuments, and many others. Historical markers in churches are encouraged to be featured at the Philippine Panorama Project/Historical Markers project.
