Holy Rosary Seminary, Catholic seminary and National Historical Landmark in Naga, Philippines
The Holy Rosary Seminary features a two-story brick structure with Italian Renaissance elements, rectangular shape, and classical Greek architectural motifs on the frieze.
Founded in 1797 by Bishop Domingo Collantes, the seminary underwent reconstruction after damages from a typhoon in 1856 and a fire in 1860.
The institution has produced 370 priests, including Jorge Barlin, the first Filipino bishop, and Cardinal Jose Tomas Sanchez of the Roman Curia.
The seminary currently houses 114 internal and 16 external seminarians, offering education from grades 7 through 12 under the K-12 curriculum.
The Bishop Domingo Collantes Library contains 30,000 books within its 280 square meter space, serving as a research center for religious studies.
