Bataan’s top tourist attractions




 

1. La Casas Filipinas de Acuzar
La Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is one of the best tourist spots in Bataan, an outstanding heritage resort perched by the sea. The resort features a very impressive collection of 27 heritage houses all over the Philippines from the Spanish-colonial period. These heritage houses (casas in Spanish) were dismantled, transported and reconstructed brick by brick, plank by plank in this 400-hectare property. Living in one of these noble-class heritage houses over the night comes with a golden price tag.

 




 

2. Mount Samat National Shrine
Mount Samat National Shrine or Dambana ng Kagitingan (Tagalog term for Shrine of Valor) is one of the historical landmarks in Bataan, a tribute to the fallen Filipino and American soldiers who fought gallantly in the World War II known as the Battle of Bataan. It is a 73,665-hectare National Shrine built on 1970 located near the summit of Mount Samat. The shrine consists of a marble-clad Colonnade and a huge Memorial Cross. Inside the Colonnade are an altar, glass murals, inscribed narratives of the battle and collection of items from WWII.
