Shrine of Our Lady of Miraculous Medal: A place for meditation and reflection. The Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is located in La Paz, Bogo City, Cebu. The shrine is situated on top of a hill and one must climb more than a hundred steps of its stairway to reach the giant statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
