Boac Cathedral

The Immaculate Conception Cathedral features red brick exterior walls, carved wooden doors, and a bell tower constructed from adobe stones and terra cotta materials.

Built in 1792, the cathedral served as both a religious center and a fortress, protecting townspeople from pirate attacks during the Spanish colonial period.

The cathedral houses the revered image of Mahal na Birhen ng Biglang Awa, which received canonical crowning in 1958 and remains central to local religious traditions.

Located 204 meters from Boac town center, the cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes both religious services attendees and architectural enthusiasts.

The structure incorporates massive buttresses supporting its walls, displaying construction techniques similar to those used in the Paoay Church of Ilocos.
