Sobre este Tip
San Roque Cathedral stands at the corner of 10th Avenue and A. Mabini Street in the old Poblacion. The big church was built between 1819 and 1847, was partly destroyed in 1899 during the Philippine-American War and was rebuilt in 1914. Look for the black-and-white aisle tiles laid in 1934 and the bone relic of San Roque on the altar. Visit outside Mass times, and keep shoulders covered and voices low.
