Basilica Minore de Nuestra Señora de Piat

The history of Our Lady of Piat dates back in 1604 when a black image of the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus on her left arm was brought to
the Philippines from Macau by the Dominican friars.[1] It was originally called the Nuestra Señora del Santísimo Rosario (Our Lady of the Holy Rosary).[2] A small
sanctuary for the religious image was built in 1604 by the local Itawis.[3] The image was brought to Lal-lo, Cagayan(then the Episcopal See of Nueva Segovia) to be
known by the Cagayanos. The image was also brought to Piat, and Tuguegarao in 1622. During the visitation, it was replaced by a more beautiful image
from Manila but the people demanded that the original image be returned to them so it was brought back to Piat and was enthroned in the small sanctuary.
