The Naga Cathedral, built in the
year 1808, is a must-go in Naga City. Catholic or not, the church offers
breathtaking views to the young and old. Just a few kilometres away from the
busy streets of the Centro, one could already reach the seat of the Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of Caceres. It has an Earthquake-Baroque Romanesque which
truly sets it apart from other churches. It has massive columns that withstand
calamities such as typhoons and fires. 
During the Penafrancia Festival it serves
as shelter for the Nuestra Senora de Penafracia, more often called “Ina” after
the Traslacion (1st Friday of September from Basilica to Naga Cathedral along
the streets of Naga City) and the Fluvial procession (8th day of the devotion,
from Naga Cathedral to Basilica along the Bicol River). It caters every
Bicolano pilgrim’s devotion with its big grounds and magnificent fascade.
The Cathedral can be found on Elias
Angeles St., Naga City, Camarines Sur. From the city’s Plaza Rizal, one could
either ride a jeepney Route A or a tricycle/taxicle. Prices depend with the
negotiations on the driver.
Roaming around Naga is fun so
Ready, Set, Whoa!
