Landmarks:
Parish Church of San Raymundo de Peñafort (Rizal, Cagayan). Formerly known as Malaueg, the site was an important mission to the peoples of what is now Apayao and was built in the 1600s by the Dominicans in the foothills of the Cordillera. The people in the area still speak Malaueg, a language spoken only in this district but is related to Ibanag. Throughout the church grounds one find shards of blue and white porcelain. As in Maragondon, the rough stonework belies the early technology of that time. The retablo is a composite of parts from earlier baroque altarpieces. Though Cagayan province may have bigger churches and other ruins, Malaueg - now Rizal - definitely possesses the most character, and its ruins are the most enigmatic.
