The only cemetery of its kind in the Philippines, it was built in the 19th century on an octagonal layout. It retains its Spanish-era chapel containing a sculpture of the dead Christ and ceiling frescoes, and its underground crypt with the remains of Nagcarlan's high society still inside. Beside the entrance to the compound is a small but informative museum about the concept of death in Philippine culture. An urban legend claims that the cemetery is connected underground to the parish church, Mount Banahaw and even to Pagsanjan, away. The cemetery was declared a national historical landmark in 1981.
Built in 1941, it is one of the few remaining civic buildings in the Philippines to survive World War II.
Nagcarlan Church
A Spanish colonial church dating from 1752. It was built in a Baroque style with Moorish-inspired crenellations, and supporting exterior pillars that seemingly wrap around the structure like a cast. Look for the ornate altar and painted wooden carving of the Final Judgement made by carvers from Paete.
