Casa Hacienda de Tanza

Tanza's main Roman Catholic church, built in the Spanish era and dedicated to the town's two patron saints, the Holy Cross, of which a side altar displays a crucifix in which Emilio Aguinaldo swore an oath as leader of the Philippine revolutionary government in 1897, and Saint Augustine of Hippo, in which another side altar displays a venerated sculpture of the saint, known fondly by locals as Tata Usteng, and said to be miraculous and frequently “roams around” on its own around Tanza. The convent hosts a small ecclesiastical museum.
