Bacolod 2015 Trip| San Diego Pro-Cathedral Church

happened on Sept. 18, 2015


You must not leave Silay City without visiting this church.  Why?  It's because this is the only pro-cathedral church outside of Manila City.  This also the only church in Negros featuring a cupola or dome.

 
It was formerly known as San Diego Parish Church or St. Didacus Parish Church in the early 20th century.  Its Patron Saint is San Diego de Alcala.
 

This Roman Catholic Church was designed by an Italian architect - Lucio Bernasconi thus, it resembles St. Peter's Church in Vatican City.  Construction was completed in 1927.
 




The church lay-out is in the shape of a Latin cross, with a cupola or dome rising forty meters above the nave.
 

 
 
It's easy to spot this church since it's located along Rizal St., adjacent to old houses. (source Wikipedia)
