Known as the “Pilgrimage City,” Antipolo is considered as the first city in Rizal. Established in 1570, Antipolo is a place for religious retreats. The Franciscan missionaries built a small church in 1578 which in 1591 was replaced by the Jesuits who organized the village into a parish. The Antipolo Cathedral houses the Marian image of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage or the Virgin of Antipolo, which was brought in from Mexico in 1626.
