San Diego Pro-Cathedral
A Roman-style church completed in 1927 in central Silay, topped by a silver dome with a cross, and one of the most beautiful churches in Negros Island.
San Diego Pro-Cathedral was designed and built between 1925 and 1927 by an Italian architect. Its floor plan is a Greek cross, with a tall silver dome topped by a cross at the center and a freestanding bell tower to one side. The overall style blends Romanesque and Renaissance elements, and it is a landmark of Silay. Entry to the church is free, but please keep quiet during Mass. Located on Silay's main street next to heritage houses such as Balay Negrense, it is usually a stop on Silay's heritage walking route.
