The most beautiful religious buildings Davao

At the top of a hill, this open-air chapel features relics of the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague and Our Lady of Fatima, as some Filipinos call her. From here, surrounded by fruit trees, you have a panoramic view of the city and Mount Apo. It's a major place of pilgrimage, especially during Holy Week. Go on Sundays to share a true moment of life, when there are more people, including Filipino families.

Davao's avant-garde cathedral blends Romanesque and Muslim styles. Named after the city's patron saint, San Pedro, this unusual cathedral traces its history back to the ^19th century. In 1847, a small neo-Gothic church was built by the Spanish conqueror Don Jose Oyanguren. In the 1960s, the desire arose to enlarge it, and it became an avant-garde concrete construction with a striking arched roof.

Lon Wa Buddhist Temple, also known as Longhua Temple, is the largest Buddhist temple in Mindanao and one of the largest in the Philippines. The gardens are very well kept, the architecture is superb, as are the colors, the materials, the Italian-style marble, the magnificent gold and wood-carved Buddha. It's all very beautiful indeed. Given that temples are quite rare in the country, it's particularly worth a visit if you're in the area.
