Santa Clara's Chapel

Whenever we have guests coming in for a visit, we make sure they see this extraordinary work of art located in the bigger Santa Clara Subdivision, Bacolod City.  It is popularly known as the “Mural of Birhen sang Barangay”.  The chapel houses a large mural mosaic that is made of 95,000 pieces of various species of capiz shells in their natural colors from Bacolod City and Iloilo.

 the beautiful altar backdrop
 even the way of the cross frames are in capiz shells
So when you're in the city don't miss to visit the place.  It's quite accessible; you only need to leave your ID with the security guard by the subdivision's gate and ask for directions.  It's a nice place to go if you need some quiet time.
