    Calvary Hills is located within the grounds of the Spanish colonial era church of
    Iguig, Cagayan. This area is known for its lifesize images of the stations of the cross
    which is popular with devotees during the Holy Week. Its elevation provides
    breathtaking views of the valley made fertile by the Cagayan River.

    The Calvary Hills of Iguig, Cagayan Valley consists of the 11 hectares of rolling hills
    with life-size concrete statues of the station of the cross and the church of San
    Antonio de Galicia. This colonial place is popular for the devotees of the Holy Week
    (Lenten Season), which depicts Jesus Christ suffering.
    There was also a great view of the Cagayan Valley river, the longest river of the
    Philippines. The colonial Spanish church has flying buttresses behind to support or
    reinforce the wall in case of earthquakes. The fourteen stations were made in 1982,
    conceived by parish priest Rogelio Cortez. Calvary Hills is one of the most
    photograph attractions in Cagayan Valley and if you're lucky enough you could take
    a photo of the sunset.
