Legazpi, officially the City of Legazpi (Bikol: Ciudad nin Legazpi; Filipino: Lungsod ng Legaspi; Spanish: Ciudad de Legazpi) and often referred to as Legazpi City, is a component city and the capital of the province of Albay in the Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 182,201.
Legazpi City is the administrative center and largest city of the Bicol Region. It is a center of tourism, education, health services, commerce and transportation in the Bicol Region.
Mayon Volcano, one of the Philippines' most popular icons and tourist destinations, is partly within the city's borders. The city is composed of two districts: Legazpi Port and Albay district.
Legazpi was recognized as the most business-friendly city in Southern Luzon in 2007 by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In 2013, Legazpi was ranked 11th among the most competitive cities in the country. In 2014, the city was ranked second among the top three livable cities in the Philippines in the Livable Cities Design Challenge organized by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC) and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.
Albay is a province in the Philippines located in the Bicol Region in southeastern Luzon. Its capital is the city of Legazpi, the regional administrative center of Bicol Region, which is located in the southern foothill of Mayon Volcano, the symbol most associated with the province. This nearly perfectly shaped active volcano forms a scenic backdrop to the city of Legazpi and is visible throughout the municipalities and cities of Albay including the surrounding provinces.
History
Pre-Hispanic period
Long before the Spaniards arrived, Albay had a thriving civilization. Formerly called Ibat, and then Libog, Albay was once ruled by Gat Ibal, an old chief who also founded the old barangay of Sawangan, now the district of Albay and part of the city of Legazpi.
Spanish colonial period
In July 1569, Luis Enriquez de Guzman, a member of the expedition led by Maestro de Campo Mateo de Saz and Captain Martin de Goiti, led a group which crossed from Burias and Ticao islands and landed on a coastal settlement called Ibalon in what is now the province of Sorsogon. From this point another expedition was sent to explore the interior and founded the town of Camalig.

The city of Legazpi was named after Miguel López de Legazpi, the Basque Spanish conquistador who officially annexed the Philippine Islands to the Spanish Empire in 1565, and whose surname came from a town in Gipuzkoa, Spain.
According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 196,639. Mayon Volcano, one of the Philippines' most popular icons and tourist destinations, is partly within the city's borders.

Legazpi International Cruise Ship Terminal to OPEN Soon
The long wait for Luzon’s first international cruise ship terminal will soon be over, as the construction of the 1 Billion Legazpi International Cruise Ship Terminal project is in full swing amid the Pandemic; and is projected to be operational early next year.
A world-class mega tourism travel facility project, the Legazpi International Cruise Ship terminal was proposed by Mayor Noel Rosal’s team way back 2015, and was already in the DOT’s drawing board, for endorsement to the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (Tieza) for approval.
The project design involves the construction of a seaport that can accommodate a 300-meter length overall passenger cruise ship, since the standard size of an international cruise ship ranges from 250 to 300 meters in length.

The long wait for Luzon’s first international cruise ship terminal will soon be over, as the construction of the 1 Billion Legazpi International Cruise Ship Terminal project is in full swing amid the Pandemic; and is projected to be operational early next year.
A world-class mega tourism travel facility project, the Legazpi International Cruise Ship terminal was proposed by Mayor Noel Rosal’s team way back 2015, and was already in the DOT’s drawing board, for endorsement to the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (Tieza) for approval.
The project design involves the construction of a seaport that can accommodate a 300-meter length overall passenger cruise ship, since the standard size of an international cruise ship ranges from 250 to 300 meters in length.
Following international terminal standards, the berthing area would have to be approximately 300 to 400 meters in length, while width should be about 72 to 100 meters.
Built along the Legazpi City boulevard, adjacent to the Sawangan Park, first phase of the civil works already started as early as 2019, which include the construction of the rock causeway and reclamation of a portion of the Legazpi City Boulevard and Albay Gulf.
#LegazpiInternationalCruiseShipTerminal #CruiseShipPort
It was only in June 15 this year that the ground breaking ceremony was held, with the project already about 50% complete.
In fact, during the ground breaking lead by Secretary Mark Villar, the 284.69 meter rock causeway and the 10,200 square meter reclamation works of the project were already 65 percent complete, located between the panoramic Albay Gulf and the majestic Mt. Mayon,
Other civil works of the project include the construction of pier, and lighting and navigation systems.
The terminal buildings and other facilities will be built at the cost of PHP920 million.
When finished, this mega tourism project will be able to contribute to the enhancement of the tourism industry in Central Philippines, spurring economic activities not only in Albay but in the Bicol Region and contribute to the national goal for poverty alleviation by providing opportunities that would attract more investment and generate employment.
With this new international cruise terminal, Legazpi will be able to attract more foreign tourists because of its strategic location as it offers a perfect view of the majestic, cone-shaped Mayon Volcano.
The Legazpi International Cruise Ship terminal will be the second international cruise ship port in the country, with Tagbiliran Bohol International Cruise Ship Port as the first.

The long wait for Luzon’s first international cruise ship terminal will soon be over, as the construction of the 1 Billion Legazpi International Cruise Ship Terminal project is in full swing amid the Pandemic; and is projected to be operational early next year.
A world-class mega tourism travel facility project, the Legazpi International Cruise Ship terminal was proposed by Mayor Noel Rosal’s team way back 2015, and was already in the DOT’s drawing board, for endorsement to the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (Tieza) for approval.
The project design involves the construction of a seaport that can accommodate a 300-meter length overall passenger cruise ship, since the standard size of an international cruise ship ranges from 250 to 300 meters in length.
Following international terminal standards, the berthing area would have to be approximately 300 to 400 meters in length, while width should be about 72 to 100 meters.
Built along the Legazpi City boulevard, adjacent to the Sawangan Park, first phase of the civil works already started as early as 2019, which include the construction of the rock causeway and reclamation of a portion of the Legazpi City Boulevard and Albay Gulf.
#LegazpiInternationalCruiseShipTerminal #CruiseShipPort
It was only in June 15 this year that the ground breaking ceremony was held, with the project already about 50% complete.
In fact, during the ground breaking lead by Secretary Mark Villar, the 284.69 meter rock causeway and the 10,200 square meter reclamation works of the project were already 65 percent complete, located between the panoramic Albay Gulf and the majestic Mt. Mayon,
Other civil works of the project include the construction of pier, and lighting and navigation systems.
The terminal buildings and other facilities will be built at the cost of PHP920 million.
When finished, this mega tourism project will be able to contribute to the enhancement of the tourism industry in Central Philippines, spurring economic activities not only in Albay but in the Bicol Region and contribute to the national goal for poverty alleviation by providing opportunities that would attract more investment and generate employment.
With this new international cruise terminal, Legazpi will be able to attract more foreign tourists because of its strategic location as it offers a perfect view of the majestic, cone-shaped Mayon Volcano.
The Legazpi International Cruise Ship terminal will be the second international cruise ship port in the country, with Tagbiliran Bohol International Cruise Ship Port as the first.
