"Capilla Monte Cueva Virgen Shrine"

The Monte Cueva is a church within a cave located in a top of a mountain with 540-step stairs.It is well-known for the Marian devotees. Situated at Monte Cueva Asuncion de la Virgen Shrine, at an elevation of 172 meters above sea level overlooking the Maasin City.

The place is well-known for the Marian devotees. It was donated by the Philanthropists and a Lawyer Odong and Loring Chung to the Diocese of Maasin where it all started in a dream. Joaquin Chung Jr. dreamt of the Lady of The Assumption asking him to put up a shrine in that specific area. He believed in his dream, and so he built the church right away and eventually gave it to the ownership and management of the diocese.

The position of the statue faces the coastal plain with stretched arms, expressing compassion and protection to the city. At the bottom of it, there is a cave with a river which called by locals as"Aghuba" which means A Mountain Cave. What makes this place especially unique is that it is believed that it brings healing to anyone who offers and pray sincerely. This is why devotees and pilgrims gather to seeking solutions to their problems or ailments, and miraculously, most of them have their wishes granted, making it as a top destination for Catholic belivers.
