Branded as the “Little Vigan of the South”, Taal Heritage Town is overflowing with rich history, culture and beauty. It used to be located in present day San Nicolas, but after the 200-day 1754 eruption, the biggest eruption of this small volcano recorded in history, the entire town was forced to move to a safer elevated location, farther from the Taal Volcano. During the Spanish era, the town continued to prosper and produced some of the country’s bravest national heroes such as Marcela Marino Agoncillo, best known as the mother of Philippine Flag; Don Felipe Agoncillo, a diplomat and a revolutionary hero and Gliceria Marella de Villavicencio, known as the Godmother of the Revolution. Their ancestral houses are well-preserved and remain standing up to this date.
