A marker commemorating the starting point of the Bataan Death March for Allied soldiers who were garrisoned in Bagac, with markers continuing to trace their route along present-day Linao Highway until Pilar in eastern Bataan, where they merged with the main body of POWs coming in from Mariveles. These markers are distinguished with their white color and pyramidal appearance.
A living museum housing a growing collection of Spanish-era buildings, which are either reconstructions, replicas or houses dismantled and reassembled from across various towns in the Philippines. The site’s replica of Balanga Cathedral is a favorite wedding venue for those willing to splurge.
