San Pedro Metropolitan Cathedral

This is the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Davao City. A place of worship for most Catholics. It has a separate adoration chapel, a belfry and a separate office. It nya look huge but parking is very limited. It's front ja the Davao city government Complex and it's surroundings also has a lot of banks

"Stepping into San Pedro Cathedral, I was embraced by a quiet peace. In that moment, I truly felt the Holy Spirit and found myself deeply connected with God, even with a very short visit in this church."

Great service. Clean. Historical ambience and religious significance.

It is probably the most famous church in Davao. It is the ecclesiastical seat of the Archdiocese of Davao. This cathedral has a lot of history. The first version of this cathedral was bombed and had a Neo-Gothic architecture. The church is very big with a unique architecture made from concrete. The interior is a big contrast from the outside with it being modern with a large and extremely beautiful altar. The mass I attended was good being presided by the auxillary Bishop of Davao. The San Pedro Cathedral was probably one of the biggest highlights for me visiting Davao. Note that there is pretty much no parking for the church.

An interesting design for the church. I walked around here but they wouldn’t let me in because I had a bag.

Saint Peter's Metropolitan Cathedral, also known as San Pedro Cathedral or Davao Cathedral, is the ecclesiastical seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Davao. An earlier church, said to be in the Neo-Gothic style, was built on the same site as the current cathedral in 1847. In the 1960s, due to its small size, the Diocese of Davao sought funds to enlarge the church to resemble an ark, hence the pointed front with a cross. A separate bell tower was also built. The cathedral has witnessed two bombing incidents: an incident in 1981 that killed 17 people, and one in 1993 that killed seven people.

A great solemn place with the heart of Davao City. There is a security personnel which makes more comfortable and safe. No pack bags allowed to enter inside. I love this place

This is a Cathedral located in Davao City. It has an interesting architecture on the outside. Made largely of concrete it gives a modern look when being viewed on the exterior. The concrete gives that cold vibe to the design, but as soon as you go inside you will see the warm lights surrounding the interior and the wooden seats that face the central altar. Interesting to note also, the cathedral is facing the city government buildings. When you want to go around San Pedro street to look for interesting contemporary architecture, don't forget to stop by San Pedro Cathedral.
