San Sebastian Cathedral

San Sebastian Cathedral, also known as Bacolod Cathedral, is the Roman Catholic cathedral located in central Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Philippines, fronting Bacolod Public Plaza. Originally established as a small wooden church in 1724 and rebuilt in coral stone in the 19th century, the present structure was completed in 1882. Notable for its twin bell towers added in 1927, Romanesque features, and historic bells, it serves as the seat of the Diocese of Bacolod and a central religious landmark.

Visitors can expect a historic coral-stone cathedral in the heart of downtown Bacolod, directly across from Bacolod Public Plaza. The exterior features twin bell towers, arched windows and a simple Romanesque facade, while the interior has a high vaulted ceiling, stained glass, marble altar, and religious statues including St. Sebastian. The plaza-facing forecourt and surrounding streets are busy with pedestrians, vendors and jeepneys. Visitors can explore the nave, attend Mass, view historic bells and markers, and photograph the facade from the plaza.
