Baguio Cathedral

Baguio Cathedral, formally Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral, is a Neo-Romanesque Catholic cathedral atop Mount Mary Hill in central Baguio City, Benguet. Completed in 1936 by Belgian CICM missionaries, it serves as the seat of the Diocese of Baguio. Notable for its distinctive rose-pink facade, twin belfries, and stained-glass windows, it survived World War II and remains a major religious and landmark attraction overlooking Session Road.

Visitors can expect a hilltop Neo-Romanesque cathedral with a pink exterior, twin spires, rose window and stained-glass interiors. The church sits on an elevated courtyard accessed by a long stone staircase of about 100 steps from Session Road or by road via Cathedral Loop. Inside is a spacious nave, altar dedicated to Our Lady of Atonement, and quiet prayer areas. The courtyard offers panoramic views of downtown Baguio and surrounding hills.

Initiated in 1920 by Belgian missionaries of the Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae (CICM) under Rev. Florimond Carlu, construction was completed and consecrated in 1936. Built in Neo-Romanesque style, it served as an evacuation center during World War II and withstood the carpet-bombing of Baguio in 1945. It was elevated as the cathedral of the Diocese of Baguio upon the diocese's creation in 2004.

The cathedral is the principal Roman Catholic place of worship in Baguio and is dedicated to Our Lady of Atonement. It is a prominent religious, cultural and architectural landmark for the city, known for its pink facade, twin spires and role in major religious observances and community gatherings.
