Divisoria is a Spanish word which means to divide. Located in downtown area, it is a series of parks dedicated to national and local heroes. Cagayan was constantly affect by fire that burned most of the town. In 1901, local authorities decided to build a "divider" parallel to the town to serve as a fire break. This divider or "divisoria" was later transformed into parks.

It is the city's main Catholic Church and the seat of the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro. The original church was built in 1845 by the Augustinian Friars but was destroyed during the American bombardment in 1945. Only the wooden cross in front of the church survive up to this day. After the war, American missionary Fr. James T.G.
