JARO CATHEDRAL / MUSEO ILOILO

Jaro Cathedral, with the stairs leading to the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Candles is formally known as Jaro Metropolitan Cathedral. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Jaro, located in Iloilo City on the island of Panay in the Philippines. It was placed under the patronage of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. The present cathedral structure was finished in 1874. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1948 and later repaired in 1956. Museo Iloilo was built in 1971. It is a provincial museum located besides the Iloilo Provincial Capitol in Iloilo City, Philippines. It is the first government-sponsored museum in the Philippines outside of Metro Manila. It houses a collection of Iloilo's cultural heritage. Where to stay: Iloilo has plenty of hotels from 2 stars to 4 stars, your choice. For me, I stayed in the city proper, the Go Hotel, where shopping is just a walking distance away. How to get there: you can take a taxi from your hotel to the museum and to Jaro Cathedral. You may also take a public transport, the Jeepney, to both places. #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #tripblazers #本地遊 #staycation #summervacation
