Part of Laoag Cathedral. Named so because it slowly sinks into the soft soil of the city. A decade ago, the entrance was still tall enough to let a man on horseback enter. Now not even a man could enter.
Saint William's Cathedral, commonly known as Laoag Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. It serves as the seat or central church of the Diocese of Laoag. The current church was built in 1612 by Augustinian friars to replace a wooden chapel.
