Ferdinand E. Marcos Presidential Center
A museum dedicated to President Marcos and his achievements, but avoids its excesses. It also used to house the president's preserved remains inside an airconditioned separate mausoleum building, although doubts persisted on whether the wax-looking cadaver on display was the real thing until he was reburied in Metro Manila in 2016, revealing the displayed corpse to be a fake. The dummy remains on display in Batac.
Batac Church
The city's main Roman Catholic church, built in the Romanesque style.
A small shrine with a park and museum dedicated to General Artemio Ricarte, a Filipino revolutionary who is acknowledged as the father of the Philippine Army.
