The ten Commandments

Iguig, Cagayan

 

On top of the list is the town of Iguig where the old St. James the Greater Parish and the popular Station of the Cross can be seen.

 

The Calvary Hills of Iguig, which boasts of 11 hectares of rolling terrain upon which lie close to six-meter high statues depicting the 14 stations of the Cross.

Created in 1982 following the idea of parish priest Rogelio Cortez, the statues are colorful and life-like, providing a memorable destination for Lent. From the hills, one can have a view of the Cagayan River and the surrounding countryside.

 

The statues stretch out four hectares behind the Church of San Antonio de Galicia, one of the few remaining Catholic churches in the country that feature a buttress.

 

The Church of San Antonio de Galicia is a masterpiece in bricks. Said to have been built from1765 to 1787, its facade seems to have a story of its own, waiting to be discovered by anyone who sets foot inside.
