Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral (Baguio Cathedral) Review

Submitted by sandy on Thu, 11/17/2022 - 23:02
Description

Formally known as Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral, Baguio Cathedral, is as much a tourist destination as it is a religious one among Roman Catholics. Located on a hilltop near Session Road, its 1930s architecture marked by twin spires overlooks the busy road and can be accessed via an approximately hundred-step staircase or via the access roads behind it. This peaceful place of worship also played a role in World War II, having served as an evacuation center during the Japanese occupation.
