The St Joseph's Church was founded by Francisco de Silva Male in the early 1800s. After the first church was pulled down in 1906, plans were made to build a new one on the existing site. This led to the completion of the St Joseph's Church in 1912. Capped by a dome, the central octagonal tower is flanked by two smaller towers.
