Laoag Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Laoag City, Philippines.
The Saint William Cathedral presents Italian Renaissance architecture with a two-story façade supported by columns flanking the arched entrance point.
Augustinian friars constructed the original wooden chapel in 1580, while the current stone structure was completed in 1612 to serve the growing community.
The cathedral exhibits religious artifacts and maintains a central retablo displaying San Guillermo el Ermitaño, the patron saint of Laoag City.
The cathedral offers daily mass services and remains open for visitors from early morning until evening, with guided tours available upon request.
The separate cylindrical bell tower of the cathedral gradually sinks into the ground at a rate of approximately one inch each year.
