Facts and practical information

The San Roque Church, also known as the Diocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Solitude of Porta Vaga lies at the southern part of what was once known as the walled city of Cavite. When the Spaniards came in 1571, they found the place forested and swampy. Its location was very strategic for trade since it was surrounded by water. This may be the reason why many Chinese used to visit the place. In 1573, when the Chinese pirate Limahong was being chased by the Spaniards, he retreated to the northernmost portion of San Roque. This is presently known as Sangley point. In 1614, when the province of Cavite was given a politico-military government, San Roque was created as an independent "pueblo". ()
