019) Cagayan de Oro City Walk - Gaston Park and St. Augustine Cathedral Area

Gaston Park is a central public square in Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental (Northern Mindanao). It sits in the city’s historic core and is located beside the St. Augustine Metropolitan Cathedral and near the Archbishop’s Palace. The park is named after *Segundo Gaston**, a pre-war municipal mayor of Cagayan de Oro. Historically, it served as the main plaza of **Cagayan de Misamis* during the Spanish colonial period and remained a key civic space as the city developed. Gaston Park is also tied to major historical events: it was used as a training ground during the Philippine–American War period and is associated with the **Battle of Cagayan de Misamis (April 7, 1900)**. A National Historical Institute marker was placed in the park in 2000. The St. Augustine Metropolitan Cathedral is the principal Roman Catholic cathedral of Cagayan de Oro and the ecclesiastical seat of the **Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro**, dedicated to **Saint Augustine of Hippo**. The cathedral’s origins trace back to the early Spanish-era mission period, with an early church established in the 1600s and rebuilt multiple times due to major fires and later wartime destruction. After being damaged during World War II, the present-day cathedral structure was developed in the postwar period, becoming one of the city’s most important religious and heritage landmarks.
