Characteristics of tumauini church
Answers
Façade
The church building is made entirely of ornately designed red bricks in its façade and its interior walls.[4] A closer look at the brick façade shows numbers and dates for the correct sequence of the bricks in Forto's design.[3] The façade is flanked by two pseudo-Corinthian columns and niches, one located above the entrance and the two remaining larger niches on each side of the columns.[3] The church's circular pediment is unique relative to all other churches built during the Spanish Era.[3]
Belfry
Attached to the church's façade is a unique cylindrical belfry built in 1805.[4][6] It is the only known Spanish colonial era cylindrical tower in the country.[7] The tiered belfry notably resembles a wedding cake.[8][9]
The bell housed within has bullet holes but was never recast.[10]

The ruins of the church's convento (clergy house) are located on the gospel side of the church
