Maliputo Landmark

A Statue of St. Martin de Tours now stands on the site of the “Old Taal Town” along the lakeshore.

A fine old church built in Spanish times to replace the one in San Nicolas that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. The front has a neoclassical facade with lots of columns; the back of the building has high windowless stone walls and looks more like a medieval European fortress than a church. A sign in front of it says it is the largest Catholic church in Asia.

Oldest sign going to proper town of Taal.

An open area with the municipal hall on one side and other town services such as the police station and post office on another side. It becomes quite busy during festivals with music, other entertainment and food stalls.
