Mount Iriga

Formerly known as Mount Asog, Mount Iriga is an extinct volcano. Its last recorded eruption was January 4, 1614 which formed Lake Buhi. It has an elevation of 1196 meters (3,924 feet) with Ilian Hill sits toward the bottom just a few kilometers above barrio San Nicolas.

Lourdes Grotto

During World War II, the Japanese Imperial Army took advantage of its strategic location of having a good view of the town proper, used it as a garrison. It is here where countless Iriguenos who opposed their presence suffered imprisonment, torture and death.

The grotto provides a panoramic view of downtown Iriga City and the surrounding barrios. In the early 70's the hill was slowly developed; using the stone bricks from blasted boulders to build the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes to its present grandeur.

new Tinagba Park

Built to honor and commemorate the Lady of Lourdes. What was used to be the old children park just below the church, became this beautiful park designed for everybody but more so for the children, the future of Iriga City.
Look how beautiful Tinagba Park is.

Hollywood what? It is Iriga City!

Inorogan Chapel


Erected at the top of a hill at Barangay Sto. Domingo, the chapel was built by a local philanthropist to commemorate the miraculous escape from death and destruction of the inhabitants residing at the foot of Mt. Sumagang during its 1614 eruption. The miracle was attributed to the intercesion of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose image is popularly known as OUR LADY OF ANGUSTIA, said to have been found by three Agta hunters at the present site of the chapel.

Sarikaw

Shaped like a man and a dog, this monolith was named after a legendary hunter whom local folklore says was transformed into stone by a mountain goddess after he ventured into her adobe.

Let us pray.


In 1578, the first church was constructed with Saint Anthony of Padua as the patron saint of the parish, Father Pedro de Jesus and Father Bartolome Ruiz were the religious heads responsible for choosing the patron saint of the visita.
