Basco Cathedral, canonically named as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, and commonly known as Santo Domingo Church, is a Roman Catholic cathedral church located in Basco, Northern Batan Island, Batanes, Philippines.
Because Batanes was named Provincia de la Concepcion in religious records at the time of its establishment, the first church was dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Patroness of Batanes Prelature. It is speculated that the image of the Immaculate Conception was brought to Batanes during the 1783 expedition. As a parish church, it bears the name Santo Domingo Church, in honor of the patron saint of the capital of Batanes, which is Basco, while it was dedicated to the Immaculate Conception as a cathedral.
