Cagsawa Ruins Of Mayon Volcano

Written by bikol |

In 1814, Mayon Volcano erupted, with lava cascading down its slopes. The townspeople fled to the Cagsawa church, in hopes that they would be out of harm’s way.

At that time lava flows buried the town of Cagsawa and 1,200 people perished. Only the bell tower of the town’s church remained above the new surface and now stands as a memorial.
