Also known as Metropolitan Cathedral is a must visit when you go to Vigan City. It was considered a major religious landmark not only in Northern Luzon but the county as well.
The original church was constructed in 1574. The church as it stands now was completed in 1800. This is truly one of the oldest churches in the country, although it looks new.
The first and original chapel was made of wood and thatch was built with the command of the Spanish founder of Vigan, Juan de Salcedo. The facade of the church does not look impressive compare to the other old churches in the province and the country. However, it said that the interior of the church is something to be admired.
I only saw this church when we had our Kalesa tour ride and took a couple of pictures. It's not included in the tour so you can just visit later on when you have extra time. I will definitely visit this church when I go back to Ilocos Sur.
