Basilica of Our Lady of Piat, Minor basilica in Piat, Philippines
The Basilica of Our Lady of Piat stands on a hill with red brick walls and features a tall belfry that marks its Romanesque Revival design.
Dominican friars brought a black image of the Virgin Mary from Macau to the Philippines in 1604, leading to the construction of this religious sanctuary.
Local Ibanag people refer to the Virgin Mary statue as Yena Tam Ngamin, which translates to 'Mother of Us All' in their native language.
The basilica maintains daily mass services and receives thousands of visitors, particularly during the annual Sambali Festival from June 23 to July 2.
A dedicated window in the basilica allows devotees to interact closely with the sacred image of the Virgin Mary, housed in a protective glass case.
