Naga, officially the City of Naga (Central Bikol: Syudad nin Naga; Rinconada Bikol: Syudad ka Naga; Filipino: Lungsod ng Naga; Spanish: Ciudad de Nueva Cáceres), or the Pilgrim City of Naga, is a 1st class independent component city in the Bicol Region of the Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 209,170 people.[4]
The town was established in 1575 by order of Spanish Governor-General Francisco de Sande. The city, then named Ciudad de Nueva Cáceres (New Cáceres City), was one of the Spanish royal cities in the Spanish East Indies, along with Manila, Cebu, and Iloilo, the third oldest to be exact.[6]
Geographically and statistically classified, as well as legislatively represented within Camarines Sur, but administratively independent of the provincial government, Naga is considered by some sources to be the Bicol Region's trade,[7][8] business,[8] religious, cultural, industrial, commercial,[9] medical,[10][11] educational,[9][12][13] and financial center.[14][15][16][17][18][19][excessive citations]
Naga is known as the "Queen City of Bicol" due to the historical significance of Naga in the Bicol Region;[20] as the "Heart of Bicol",[21][22] due to its central location on the Bicol Peninsula; and as the "Pilgrim City," as Naga is also the destination of one of the largest Marian pilgrimages in Asia to the shrine of Our Lady of Peñafrancia, an image that is one of the country's most popular objects of devotion.[23] Naga is also known as "One of the Seven Golden Cities of the Sun" as stated by Nick Joaquín.[24]
It is one of the two Philippine cities named Naga, the other being Naga, Cebu in Visayas.
