The Parish Church of Epiphany of Our Lord was founded in 1587. The municipality of Lingayen was founded by Spanish Augustinian missionaries in 1614. The parish was established in 1616 and named it Los Tres Reyes or The Three Kings. By 1740, the parish was under the care of the Dominicans until the Filipino revolt against the Spaniards took place in 1898. From 1900 to 1933, Filipino priests took charge of the parish until the Columban missionaries from Ireland came to the province. The enormous church was made the seat of the newly established Diocese of Lingayen on May 19, 1928. It has gone through many stages of reconstruction especially during World War II when combined Filipino and American forces dropped bombs in the Poblacion. It is a massive church made of adobe with an imposing Oriental Pagoda-like bell tower earned its distinction as one of the best structures in Pangasinan. The dome was designed by Father Miguel Aparicio.
