Manuel P. Santiago Park
Guagua's main square, featuring civic monuments, a gazebo and trees. A fine spot for recreational activities, finding some shade from the weather or just people-watching. It is also the de facto main transport terminal for most jeepneys in Guagua.
Guagua Mansion
Built in 1929 as the residence of a sugar magnate, Don Alejandro Lopez, it is the first concrete house in Pampanga. The house later fell into a long period of neglect caused in part by family squabbles and lahar flows caused by the Mount Pinatubo eruption, which is why some locals refer to the place as the “Haunted Mansion” when asked for directions. The house was repaired in 2016 and is now used as a wedding and events venue, retaining much of its elegant interior.
Bahay Pawid
A nipa (pawid)-roofed residence built in the early 1900s for the David-Siongco family, whose members have produced senior clergy members, journalists and other intellectuals who have influenced cultural discourse in the Philippines.
