Taal Heritage Town is a small town located in Batangas province, Philippines, and is known for its well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture. The town was founded in the 16th century by Augustinian friars and was once a prominent center of the sugar industry in the country.

The town’s architecture is a mixture of Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino styles, and many of the buildings date back to the 19th century. The most prominent structure is the Basilica of St. Martin de Tours, which was built in the 1850s and is one of the largest churches in Asia.

Other notable structures include the Escuela Pia, which was a school for poor children founded by Don Felipe Agoncillo, the Philippine’s first diplomat; the Casa Villavicencio, which was the ancestral home of a wealthy family in the town; and the Galleria Taal, which houses a collection of vintage cameras and photographs.

Taal Heritage Town has been recognized as a National Historical Landmark and a Heritage Village by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.
