Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Peñafrancia
Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Peñafrancia, Modern Catholic church building in Naga, Philippines
The Peñafrancia Basilica stands on the outskirts of Naga City, featuring a contemporary design that accommodates 1,500 seated and 2,700 standing visitors.
The basilica's construction started in 1976 under Archbishop Pedro Paulo Santos y Songco's initiative, reaching completion in 1981 and receiving its minor basilica status in 1985.
The annual Peñafrancia Festival in September draws thousands of participants who join the Traslacion procession from the basilica to Naga Cathedral.
The basilica includes an Audio-Visual Room for pilgrims and maintains regular worship services under the administration of the Archdiocese of Caceres.
The structure underwent major repairs in 1991 to address initial construction defects, including reinforcement of doors and installation of stained glass windows.
