Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist

The Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist stands along Burgos Street, featuring large exterior buttresses constructed from bricks and mortar with a traditional belfry.

Following the destruction of the original church in the 1660s Dagupan rebellion, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1816 under Fr. Vicente Iztequi's leadership.

The cathedral maintains its position as the central religious institution of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan under Archbishop Socrates B. Villegas's guidance.

Daily masses occur from Monday through Saturday in the afternoons, while Sunday services run multiple times between 5:30 AM and 5:15 PM.

The cathedral received recognition as a Jubilee Church for the 500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines and houses canonically crowned images.
