English: Sto. Domingo church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, patroness of Batanes, while it bears the name Santo Domingo Church in honor of the patron saint of Basco, the capital of Batanes.
It was first established upon the arrival of Dominican Fathers Balthasar Calderon O.P., and Bartholome Artiguez O.P. in 1783. The church was first built of cogon and woods but to prevent the cathedral from getting burned down, the cathedral was renovated by Father Francisco de Paula Esteban O.P., as a large stone-and-mortar church.
