Dumaguete Cathedral, formally the Cathedral of St. Catherine of Alexandria, stands as a landmark of faith and history in the city's main square. Built from coral stone in the 18th century, its simple yet elegant facade reflects Spanish colonial influence. Inside, the quiet sanctuary offers a cool respite from the tropical heat, with stained-glass windows and a revered image of the patron saint. The adjacent bell tower is a recognizable city icon.
