Meaning "Meeting-Spot in Old Gapan", it is a cluster of well-preserved colonial-era houses concentrated around two perpendicular cobble-stoned streets beside Gapan Church. During major holidays, the street is closed off to vehicles and becomes a pedestrian-friendly zone complete with stalls.
Gapan's main public space, featuring civic monuments, trees and a Ferris wheel. A fine spot for recreational activities, finding some shade from the weather or just people-watching. On weekends, the area hosts a night market.
A garden and farm filled with (mostly) bougainvilleas and other flowering plants, some of which are also on sale. There is also a cafe onsite. Also a popular venue for weddings and photography sessions.
