Balanga Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Balanga, Philippines.
The Cathedral Shrine of Saint Joseph features white marble details, brick walls, contemporary ceiling lights, and statues of religious figures near the entrance.
The cathedral, established in 1587, underwent major renovations after World War II when it served as an artillery position during the Japanese invasion.
Life-size statues of patron saints from different Bataan towns stand outside the cathedral, representing the religious heritage of the entire province.
The cathedral conducts religious services daily and celebrates two annual feast days of Saint Joseph on March 19 and April 28.
The cathedral contains a two-tiered baldachin altar design similar to Saint Peter's Basilica, a rare architectural element in Philippine churches.
