San Fernando, Component city in La Union, Philippines
San Fernando extends along the South China Sea coast at an elevation of 101 meters, featuring a peninsula that ends at San Fernando Point.
The establishment of San Fernando in 1850 marked the beginning of its development as an administrative center and transportation hub in northern Luzon.
The city maintains strong connections to Philippine traditions through local celebrations, regional cuisine specialties, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Poro, the city's outport, functions as the primary entry point for imported goods and tobacco exports in northern Luzon's maritime trade network.
The city houses both a modern cathedral constructed in 1976 and remnants of a church from 1674, representing different periods of architectural development.
