San Pedro Cathedral
San Pedro Street, Davao City, Mindanao, Philippines
The church is in front of the municipal hall and is within walking distance from the Osmeña Park. The church was being cleaned when I visited. It's spacious and cool inside, despite the heat outside the church. It's accessible because it's along a major road.You will be fortunate to ever see a cathedral shaped as this is. Located opposite the Davao City Hall and at the end of San Pedro Street it is easily found.
If you are a Christian it is good to coincide with an English Mass - the timings are on the web site - where the semi circular church interior is both an interesting design and a cool refuge on a hot day.
This magnificent Spanish-style architecture with its distinctive modern design frontal-curved solid structure was first built using nipa and bamboo in 1847 and was subsequently rebuilt in wood in the mid 1900s by the late Architect Ramon Basa until it was finally remodelled in concrete in 1964 by Architect Manuel Chiew.The present design is reflective of the convergence of Christians and Muslims living in Davao City. The frontal-curved roofing was designed to look like the prow of a vinta gliding over waters carrying a Cross at the helm. The vinta represents the Muslim Mindanao and the Cross representing Christianity - who stand united despite differences in beliefs and perhaps ways of life but points toward the glory of God.
