Jaro Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Jaro, Philippines

Construction of the present cathedral structure began in 1869 under Bishop Mariano Cuartero and reached completion in 1874, replacing earlier religious buildings.
The cathedral holds the designation of National Shrine of Our Lady of Candles and houses a collection of male saint statues along its interior walls.
