Bataan Essentials

Bataan combines World War II history with restored heritage and natural conservation. Mount Samat National Shrine features a 92-meter Memorial Cross overlooking the peninsula, while Balanga Cathedral serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Balanga. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar showcases reconstructed Spanish-colonial stone houses along the Bagac coast. Nature-focused sites include the Pawikan Conservation Center in Morong and the cascades of Dunsulan Falls.
