Built atop a hill in the 18th century, it served as both a religious center and a strategic citadel during Spanish rule. Its distinctive brick-and-mortar construction, massive buttresses, and elevated location make it a unique architectural and historical landmark. Now the Pro-Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, it continues to attract tourists and pilgrims, reflecting centuries of faith and colonial heritage in the Philippines. A local legend tells of the Virgin Mary mysteriously vanishing from her original shrine in Bulala, only to be repeatedly found atop a guava tree at the present church site. Believing it to be a divine sign, the townspeople relocated the church to its current hilltop location, where it stands today as a testament to faith and history.
