historyThe Cagsawa Ruins, one of the most visited landmarks in Albay, is the remnant of the 18th-century Cagsawa Church, which was built by the Franciscans in 1724. It is located in Barangay Busay, Cagsawa, Daraga in the province of Albay. In February 1, 1814, the Mayon Volcano erupted and engulfed the church along with an estimate of 1,200 people who took refuge in the church during the eruption. The incident left only the belfry standing. Reference: from tourist staff, from wikipedia.org and from wowlegazpi.com |
