Description and is it worth a visit
Cathedral of Puerto Princesa
The Cathedral of Puerto Princesa Immaculate Conception Cathedral, or simply Puerto Princesa Cathedral is the main Catholic cathedral, a place with history. Large and beautiful, made in neo-Gothic style. Available for tourists to visit.
The cathedral dates back to 1872, when the first mass was held at this place in Puerto Princesa by the Augustinian friar Ezequiel Moreno, who later became a saint. This happened six days after the Spanish expedition arrived in the area. Since that moment, the church has been rebuilt many times, it was even partially destroyed during the Second World War, until finally in 1961 the construction was finally completed and the cathedral acquired its present appearance.
During World War II, on December 14, 1944, the parish witnessed the Palawan massacre in the neighboring square Plaza Quartel, when about 150 American soldiers were burned alive by Japanese troops.
