Part 10 of a series.
DAY 2.
After conquering Lignon Hill, we treated ourselves to breakfast at where else but Jollibee, LOL.
St. Gregory the Great Cathedral in Legazpi City with the Mayon Volcano as its backdrop
Before we reached Jollibee, we already passed by this stunning church in the city’s downtown. I am such a sucker for old churches so I would not let the opportunity just pass by. I won’t leave the city if I won’t be able to visit this church. So after breakfast, we immediately headed to the Cathedral of St. Gregory the Great in Legazpi City. I was quite frustrated upon seeing that the Church was closed. The church should have been open since it was a Friday. Oh well. So, I just made the most out of the situation by taking photos of the church exteriors and posing for our albums as well.
I tried to look up for more information about this church on the internet, but I couldn’t find extensive information on this church. Until now, this church remains a mystery to me. The only information that I have managed to retrieve about this church is that it is the Episcopal Seat of the Diocese of Legazpi. If you have more information about this beautiful church (particularly its history), I would be glad if you could share them here.
Anyway, the church sits on a strategic location just around the Peñaranda Circle. There are other significant structures located around the circle and among them are the Legazpi City Hall, Albay Provincial Capitol. The Divine Word College is also just a stone’s throw away.
