      A visit to this city would not be complete without hearing mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral one of the CAPIZ BEST church in Roxas, just a few steps from the provincial capitol. The church originally built in the 16th century seemed ordinary on one look and do not resemble any feature of churches built during the Spanish era. This can be attributed to the fact that the church suffered the same fate as other religious buildings built by the Spaniards. It has gone several renovations after being destroyed by a typhoon in 1698 and heavily damaged by an earthquake on 1787. The current structure, painted in earth colors was rebuilt in 1954 has a post-American look. 

Address: Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Legazpi Street, Roxas City, Capiz
