Basilica of Our Lady of Piat

The Basilica of Our Lady of Piat is a Roman Catholic minor basilica located in Piat, in the northern Philippine province of Cagayan, within the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao. Built in 1875 in a Romanesque Revival style, the church is dedicated to the Visitation of the Virgin Mary and houses a venerated Marian statue that draws pilgrims from across the Cagayan Valley region. It stands as one of the most important Marian pilgrimage sites in the northern Philippines, reflecting the deep colonial-era Catholic heritage embedded in the region. Visitors encounter an active parish life and procession culture, particularly around the feast of the Visitation each July.
