Cagsawa Ruins
One of the most visited tourist attraction in BICOL is Cagsawa Ruins.
The Cagsawa Ruins (also spelled as Kagsawa or Cagsaua)
are the remnants of a 16th-century Franciscan church,
the Cagsawa church. It was originally built in the town of Cagsawa in 1587 but
was burned down and destroyed by Dutch pirates in
1636. It was rebuilt in 1724 by Fr. Francisco Blanco, but was destroyed again,
along with the town of Cagsawa, on February 1, 1814, during the eruption of
the Mayon Volcano.
The ruins
are currently located in Barangay Busay, Cagsawa, in the municipality of Daraga, Albay, Philippines.
It is part of Cagsawa Park,
is protected and maintained by the municipal government of Daraga and
the National Museum of the Philippines,
and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area. The Internationale
Tourismus-Börse Berlin, one of the world's top travel trade shows
based in Berlin, has even recognized the site as one of the places to visit in
Asia.
