    Holy Rosary Minor Seminary “seminario del santíssimo rosario”

    Founded on March 7, 1793 by Archbishop Antonio Gallego of Manila, When the seminary building opened in
    1793 it was made of wood, bamboo and nipa which a certain bishop noted as "combustible and of non-durable
    materials”. In 1865, Nueva Caceres Bishop Francisco Gainza, O.P. rebuilt and expanded the new seminary
    building. Holy Rosary Minor Seminary underwent repairs and improvements in the past but somehow it has
    retained its distinct colonial style and Spanish period ambiance. Evoking wisps of nostalgia is its age-old building
    with its arcaded facade, visual bands of cornices and pilasters, its stream of French windows and balconies of
    delicately wrought iron grilles. The first story has floors and walls paved with plain and brightly colored tiles,
    while its arcaded corridors often glimpse of its quiet garden-soothing areas for peace and contemplation. Winding
    up to the upper floor is its balustrade staircase paved in black and white checkerboard pattern. Its second story was
    built of Philippine hard wood as seen in its flooring, beams and trusses. Its roof of galvanized iron sheet was once
    a bright cap of red tiles which was the style of the period. It was declared as a National Historical Landmark on
    June 11, 1978 by then National Historical Institute
    St. Michael Archangel Church
    This 16th century old church, founded in 1619 by Franciscan missionaries, holds its own unique and endearing
    charm. This red brick church found in the quaint town of Caramoan has withstood countless natural calamities and
    even the devastation of World War II. It started as a chapel built out of indigenous materials like nipa, bamboos and
    wood. Thereafter, the chapel underwent several repairs/renovations and a permanent structure was finally
    constructed only after almost 200 years. The building was constructed by slave labor out of adobe, local stones and
    clay under the supervision of well-known artisans and masons. its walls are made of bricks punctured by arched
    doors and windows.

    The Carmen
    A modern and contemporary hotel located in Naga City. The hotel’s facade made distinct by metal cladding
    fashioned to evoke the flow of the Naga River. It is designed by WTA architecture and design studio. One can’t
    help but notice how the designers effectively made use of contrasting elements to create one cohesive space. The
    hotel is a study of contrasts. In addition to wood, stone and fabric are used. Furthermore, varying hues of yellow,
    brown, grays, and black bring the hotel area to life. Designer lighting highlights and enhances. And contrasting
    patterns and textures reinforce the contemporary vibe.
