"Legazpi Cathedral"

The church was reconstructed with wood planks in 1635 but razed by fire in 1754. The first stone church was built in 1834 which was charred again during the Philippine-American War in 1900. In 1945, parts of the church were damaged during the World War II, and was subsequently repaired. In 1951, it became the seat and cathedral of the Legazpi Diocese
