Maasin, Provincial capital in Southern Leyte, Philippines
Maasin extends over 211 square kilometers of land with flat coastal areas that transform into mountains toward the interior regions of Southern Leyte.
The Jesuits established their first church between Abgao and Mantahan in the early 1700s, administering the settlement until 1768 when Augustinian missionaries assumed control.
The Cathedral of Maasin, constructed from 1839 to 1852, remains the largest religious structure in the city and stands as a testament to local architectural traditions.
The city maintains two national ports for maritime transportation, while a small airport in Barangay Panan-awan facilitates regional air connectivity.
The Lady of Assumption statue rises 104 meters above sea level, creating a distinguishable silhouette for ships approaching from the Philippine Sea.
