| Laoag Cathedral, canonically known as Saint Williamââ¬â¢s Cathedral Spanish: Catedral de San Guillermo is a church in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The current church was built in 1612 by Augustinian friars to replace a wooden chapel. The church is also famous for its Sinking Bell Tower, which sinks into the ground at a rate of an inch a year. It has survived several minor earthquakes since its construction, causing scholars to label it an Earthquake Baroque style structure. |
