Monte Cueva Shrine

Updated: Sep 22, 2018


A small cave converted into a Chapel found only in Southern Leyte.




The challenging steps toward the shrine…The shrine is located at an elevation of 172 meters above sea level overlooking Maasin City. It was donated by the philanthropists Odong and Loring Chung to the Diocese of Maasin. The place is not for those who are afraid of heights nor for those with weak knees because before you reached the Monte Cueva you must endure first the laborious climb via a zigzagging concrete stairway consisting of more than 550 concrete stairways.


Maasin shrine is a place that is well-known for the Marian devotees. Situated at Monte Cueva Asuncion de la Virgen Shrine, or simply Monte Cueva, this place has been a must-see place for the devotees and the pilgrims.


Come. Visit the place. Masses held during scheduled days especially Good Fridays & Sundays.
