Sinait Basilica (Minor Basilica of St. Nicholas of Tolentino / Archdiocesan Shrine of Santo Cristo Milagroso)

The Minor Basilica of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, known as Sinait Basilica and Archdiocesan Shrine of Santo Cristo Milagroso, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Rang-ay, Sinait, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. Built by Augustinian missionaries in the late 16th century in Earthquake Baroque style, it enshrines the revered life-size Santo Cristo Milagroso crucifix found at sea in 1620. Elevated to minor basilica in 2021, it is a major pilgrimage and heritage landmark in northern Luzon.

Visitors can expect a historic Earthquake Baroque church with thick buttresses, a simple cream facade, bell tower, and a spacious nave with wooden altar and religious images. The main focus is the chapel enshrining the Santo Cristo Milagroso crucifix behind the altar. The complex includes a parish convent, plaza, and devotional areas. The setting is in the town center of Sinait, surrounded by low-rise buildings and accessible grounds for prayer, sightseeing and photography outside Mass hours.
