Our Lady of Manaoag

The Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary displays Neo-Romanesque architecture spanning 88 meters in length with detailed murals across its interior walls.

The original shrine, founded in 1600, transitioned from Augustinian to Dominican administration in 1605, with the first resident priest appointed in 1610.

The sanctuary receives thousands of pilgrims who participate in religious ceremonies, including the blessing of religious articles and touching the image's mantle.

Visitors can reach the basilica through various routes from Metro Manila, with bus journeys typically taking between four and five hours via North Luzon Expressway.

During World War II, four bombs fell near the church, with one passing through the roof without exploding, leaving the structure largely intact.
