Saint Dominic de Guzman Parish Church, commonly known as Lal-lo Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Lal-lo, Cagayan, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao. The church was built by the Dominican priests in 1596.[1] The facade, with neo-Renaissance style, may have been applied as part of the renovation of the church after a storm in 1845.[2] The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) declared it a national landmark and installed a historical marker on the church's facade in 1939.[3] [4]
