Cagsawa Ruins in Daraga, Albay

This place has been in my checklist of "places to visit" for the longest time and I'm so glad that during the first week of this month, we were able to go with my friends.

The Cagsawa Ruins (also spelled as Kagsawa or Cagsaua) are the remnants of an 18th century Franciscan church, the Cagsawa church, built in 1724 and destroyed by the 1814 eruption of the Mayon Volcano. They are located in Barangay Busay, Cagsawa, in the municipality of Daraga, Albay, Philippines. The ruins, currently protected in a park overseen by the municipal government of Daraga and the National Museum of the Philippines, are one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area.They are considered symbolic of the dangers of living in close proximity with the Mayon Volcano.
