Immaculate Conception Cathedral
The Immaculate Conception Cathedral is the oldest church in Puerto Princesa, originally built in 1872 during the Spanish colonial period. The distinctive blue-painted facade and twin bell towers make it one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city.
The interior is simple but beautiful, with stained glass windows and a peaceful atmosphere. The cathedral sits on Rizal Avenue, the main commercial street, making it easy to visit while exploring the city center.
Mass services are held daily and the church is an active parish. It's a good stop for architecture and history enthusiasts, or simply for a quiet moment in the city.
