Daraga Church

Daraga Church (Our Lady of the Gate Parish Church) stands on a hill with sweeping views of Mayon Volcano and nearby landscapes, offering history, faith, and scenic beauty.

Built in 1773 using volcanic stones, the church reflects Baroque architecture adapted to local conditions, with intricate carvings and a commanding façade. Its elevated position overlooking Cagsawa Ruins makes it both a spiritual sanctuary and a prime viewpoint. The structure has endured natural disasters, symbolizing resilience and deep cultural heritage in Albay.
