This beautiful church, built n 1920 by Italian Architect Verasconi was elevated to pro-cathedral on December 1994, the second in the country to be declared so. Behind it are the ruins of the city’s original church, now a grotto. Silay is located 14.4 kilometers (a 20 to 30 minute drive) north of Bacolod City.
