San Miguel City has so many and historical infrastructures; one the most known is<br />

the Cathedral of "Nuestra Señora de la Paz"; its construction began in 1862 and was<br />

finished a century later, in 1962. Francisco Gavidia Theater is also another<br />

representative build of San Miguel<br />
