Album Info:
(DSC00384) This Baroque church with Gothic spires stands in the middle of Jaro district in Iloilo City, the richest district in Panay island during the Spanish colonial period. The cathedral aptly became the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Jaro, one of the oldest in the country, which encompasses the whole province of Iloilo and the nearby Guimaras island. The cathedral was built in 1864 when Pope Pius IX declared Jaro a diocese. An earthquake in 1948 damaged the church but it was restored in 1956 by the Jose Ma. Cuenco, the first archbishop of Jaro.
