St. Isidore Church and Convent

Shell Museum
An exhibit of many seashells found in Siquijor.
Bolo-bolo Healer
Meet with a local healer. One of their main healing rituals involves using a clear glass of water, black stone and a pipe. Using the pipe, the healer blows into the glass of water, moving it across the affected area of the patient’s body. The water in the glass slowly becomes murky, filled with brown and cottony organic matter believed to be the bad elements removed from the patient’s body. The process is repeated a few times until the water remains clear, an indication that the impurities causing the disease has been healed.
St. Francis of Assisi Church and Bell Tower
Located in Siquijor town, this is the first church you will see when arriving from Siquijor Pier. This is the first Parish Church on the island and was built in 1783.
