Immaculate Conception Cathedral Puerto Princesa
Just across Plaza Cuartel and Rizal Park lies one of the most important historical landmarks in Puerto Princesa city, the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. Actually rebuilt in 1961, this breathtaking Roman Catholic religious edifice can easily be reached by tricycle and noticed via its light blue appearance as well as high, pointed bell towers. You cannot expect the antique-looking exteriors as the building is well-kept and preserved with fresh paint, but the symmetrical arches redolent of Gothic architecture inside will surely refresh your eyes. You will see remarkable features of European architecture such as the high ceiling, high-arched doorways, and intricately-designed alter. The cathedral also houses some age-old wood carvings made by the craftsmen in the Iwahig Penal Colony.
