Nestled in the heart of the Bicol Region, the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of the Our Lady of Peñafrancia (Basilica Minore y Santuario Nacional de Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia) stands as a testament to the unwavering faith of the Bicolanos. This grand basilica, the only one in the region, is a beacon of devotion, drawing pilgrims from far and wide to honor the revered image of the Virgin Mary.
No visit to the basilica is complete without a stop at the Peñafrancia Souvenir and Novelty Shop, located just a stone’s throw away. Here, visitors can find an array of religious items, including crucifixes, estampitas, statuettes, and replicas of Ina’s mantle, a tangible reminder of their pilgrimage.
