Get DirectionsSan Diego Pro-Cathedral, located in Silay City, Negros Occidental, Philippines, is a prominent Roman Catholic church known for its distinctive architectural features. Established as a parish in 1776, the present structure was completed in 1927, funded by local sugar baron Don Jose Ledesma. Designed by Italian architect Lucio Bernasconi, the church boasts a Romanesque style with a Latin cross layout and a unique dome—the only one of its kind in the province. Formerly known as the San Diego Parish Church or the St. Didacus Parish Church, it was elevated to pro-cathedral status on December 25, 1994, serving as a secondary cathedral for the Diocese of Bacolod, particularly during repairs of the primary cathedral. The interior of the church combines modern and traditional elements, featuring Corinthian pillars and Victorian flooring. This blend of styles, along with its historical and cultural significance, makes San Diego Pro-Cathedral a noteworthy landmark in the region, attracting both worshippers and tourists alike.AddressZamora Street, Silay City Heritage Zone, Silay City, Negros Occidental, PhilippinesContact DetailsEmail: [email protected]Operational HoursMonday – Friday: 6:00 am – 5:15 pm | Saturday – 6:00 am – 5:00 pm | Sunday (Mass Schedule): – 5:00 am, 6:30 am, and 8:00 amBest time to visitAnytime or during scheduled massesHow to get thereYou can take local minivans that operate as a bus from Bacolod to Silay City hourly.
