During the Spanish colonial period from 1565 to 1898, the Philippines became home to hundreds of centuries-old Spanish colonial churches that showcased different artistic styles. These churches displayed the exaggerated Rococo style of art in sculpture, painting and architecture seeking to produce drama and grandeur. They also featured the simpler Neoclassical style which was unemotional in form. One example is the ornately decorated San Isidro Ladrador church in Siquijor which manifested Gothic architectural elements and the late Spanish baroque style.
