Cagayan Province




Cagayan is home to picturesque beaches, volcanic islands and historically significant natural and man-made sites. It may be devoid of luxury trappings, true, but it is rich in natural, rugged beauty. The traveler who strikes out for it (he won’t have to go very far, really) takes its richest rewards.

Old Bell in the Far East of Camalaniugan


The Sancta Maria Bell was forged in 1595, the same year when Catholic friars converted the local chieftain, Datu Guiyab, and his people to Christianity. The year 1565 is also only three decades after the establishment of the Spanish colony in the Philippines by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. It is also not known how the bell was brought to the town. 

A year after, the original parish church was built, the third one in Cagayan province. A church dedicated to the Polish saint San Jacinto de Polonia (Saint Jacek of Poland) was built in 1746 but was later destroyed by typhoon and earthquake. In later years, the church was moved to its present site, away from the seasonal overflow of the Cagayan river, which threatened the foundations of the original structure. Today, the Sancta Maria bell hangs together with the town's other historic bells in the belfry of the modern-style church.
