Isabela Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Isabela City, Philippines.

The cathedral features a cream-colored structure with a single tower, brise soleil patterns on exterior walls, and stained glass windows on both sides.

Founded in 1850 by Augustinian Recollects, the original wooden church moved locations due to natural disasters before settling at its current plaza location.

The cathedral stands as a primary Christian center in Isabela City, where two-thirds of the population practice Islam, demonstrating religious diversity.

Visitors can reach the cathedral through a two-hour ferry ride from Zamboanga City to Isabela City, followed by a five-minute walk from the port.

A large mosaic from Spain depicts Jesus Christ surrounded by eleven apostles and the artist Cerezo, who replaced Judas in the composition.
