Sorsogon Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Sorsogon City, Philippines

The Saints Peter and Paul Parish Cathedral stands in the center of Sorsogon City, with its structure facing the waters of Sorsogon Bay.

The cathedral's foundation dates to 1628, starting as a simple parish made of nipa and bamboo before evolving into a stone structure by 1660.

The cathedral celebrates its patron saints, Peter and Paul, with an annual feast on June 29, coinciding with the city's Pili Festival celebrations.

Visitors can reach the cathedral by taking a one-hour van ride from Legazpi City, with the terminal conveniently located next to the building.

Following the 1954 earthquake that destroyed its bell tower, the cathedral underwent reconstruction in a neo-Gothic architectural style.
