Overview
Overview
The Day of the Virgin of the Rosary, or the Virgen de Rosario Festival, has been held annually in Cajabamba since 1668. The festival start with a mass on the first Sunday of October, and the 10-day celebration includes fireworks, local arts, and traditional dances. The province of Cajabamba was founded by the friars of the Order of Hermits of the Great Father Saint Augustine, who, having been sent from Spain by King Charles V with the permission of Pope Paul III, arrived in this region in 1533. The "Three Juans," a trio of friars named Juan de San Pedro, Juan del Canto, and Juan Ramirez settled on the right bank of the Los Ojos de Lanla spring. In 1837, José de la Mar gave Cajabamba the title of Villa. Two years later, Agustín Gamarra granted it the title Always faithful city of Cajabamba. On January 2, 1850, the region was elevated to the status of province. In 1861, the construction of the current Main Church was completed. • Illustration — Panoramic photo of Cajabamba
