Vigan Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Vigan, Philippines.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Paul stands with robust buttresses and seven bells in a separate tower along Plaza Salcedo.
Constructed in 1641, the cathedral became the episcopal seat of Nueva Segovia diocese in 1758, marking a significant religious milestone in northern Philippines.
The cathedral interior features a silver-paneled main altar, three naves, and multiple minor altars representing Filipino-Spanish religious architectural heritage.
The cathedral opens daily for worship services, with guided tours available through the parish office located in the adjacent Archbishop's Palace.
Congressman Floro Crisologo was assassinated inside this cathedral in 1970 while kneeling in prayer during Sunday mass.
