Immaculate Conception Cathedral
Katedral ng Kalinis-linisang Paglilihi
A Gothic Revival cathedral in pale blue facing the bay in central Puerto Princesa, and a landmark of the city.
The cathedral was first built in 1872 during the Spanish period, and the current building dates from 1961. Its pale blue and white exterior is topped by twin spires, and the interior has stained glass windows. It stands in the historic core by the bay, directly opposite Plaza Cuartel, and near the Palawan Museum and the seafront walkway, so it is easy to visit on foot. Admission is free. Please keep quiet during Mass, and dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered.
Opening hours
Approx. 06:00–19:00 (quiet during Mass)
