A private residence built for one of San Pablo's well-to-do residents in 1924, it became known as the setting of the 1988 classic Filipino horror film Tiyanak featuring a demon-baby from Filipino folklore and has since become a stereotype for a haunted house, lightened somewhat by the grotto of the Virgin Mary in the yard. Only the semi-cylindrical exterior and ornate window grills can be seen on the outside, but if one is lucky enough to be invited in, expect to see the interior of an American period house complete with custom-made furniture from that era. There are plans to restore the house, which has not been directly inhabited by its owners for some time, to its former glory.

San Pablo Cathedral
An adobe Romanesque Roman Catholic cathedral that forms the center of San Pablo and serves as the seat of the namesake Roman Catholic Diocese of San Pablo which oversees the entirety of Laguna. Built in 1714, it was damaged during World War II, and its façade been restored to its original. Its dome is a landmark of the city.
A tree-filled park filled with fountains and neoclassical and Filipino-themed statues, it is a favorite recreation hub among residents. It sits on a promontory overlooking Dagatan Boulevard and provides views of Sampaloc Lake.
Capitol, Kapitolyo
Built in a neo-classical style, this imposing structure is one of the few surviving civic buildings in the Philippines from the pre-World War II era. It contains a small museum on the history of San Pablo.
