A chapel built by the cove where the Virgen Milagrosa was said to have washed up in 1620 from Japan, where it had been hidden away by Christians being persecuted by the Tokugawa Shogunate. The cove was subsequently named in the Virgin's honor. At the same time, a twin image of the crucified Christ, known as the Santo Cristo Milagroso, washed up in the neighboring village of Dadalaquiten, part of Sinait, and is also venerated in that town’s basilica.
Juan Luna Shrine
A museum dedicated to the lives of Juan and Antonio Luna, brothers who originated in the town (Juan was born in Badoc while Antonio was born in Manila where his family moved to) and dedicated their lives to upholding Filipino nationalism against Spanish and American prejudices. Juan excelled in realist and romanticist painting, while Antonio made his name commanding Filipino forces during the Philippine-American War, only to be assassinated in factional fighting with forces loyal to President Emilio Aguinaldo in Cabanatuan.
