Romblon Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Romblon, Philippines
Saint Joseph Cathedral Parish features massive coral stone walls, Byzantine altar decorations, and three entrance doors with detailed religious carvings at the central portal.
Portuguese Recollect Agustin de San Pedro initiated the cathedral construction in 1644, incorporating defensive features against Moro raiders while training locals in self-defense.
The cathedral houses a replica of the Cebu Santo Niño, installed in 1728, which remains a central element of religious devotion for the local community.
The cathedral opens specifically during mass times and celebrates major festivities on March 19 for Saint Joseph and the second week of January for Santo Niño.
The cathedral's original copper bells continue to function from a belfry that served as a defensive watchtower against maritime invaders in past centuries.
