A

The town of Lal-lo is perhaps the most
historical place in the province. Named Nueva Segovia by Juan Pablo Carreon in
1581, it is the oldest town in Cagayan. In fact, it is even older than the
province itself which was only established in 1583. In 1595, Pope Clement VIII declared
the town as the seat of the Diocese of Nueva Segovia whose territory includes
the whole of northern Luzon (from Zambales all the way up) however, the seat
was transferred to Vigan in 1755. Lallo was the also fourth city established
during the Spanish Era, (the first was Cebu in 1565, Manila in 1571, and Naga
in 1575) and it was the capital of Cagayan up to 1839 when the Provincial Government
was moved to Tuguegarao. The oldest suspension bridge in Asia, the Magapit
Suspension Bridge is also found in Lal-lo.
How to Get There
From
Tuguegarao, you can either take a public van or a bus for a 1 hour and 30
minute ride to Lallo. For independent motorist, Lallo is approximately 65 kms north
of Tuguegarao.
