Hometown of Miraculous Churces
Caysasay Church of Taal in Barrio Labac enshrines the miraculous 400-years-old image of Our Lady of Caysaysay. The miraculous image attracts legions of devotees from many parts of the country. It was in 1619, after a woman named Catalina Talayan witnessed an apparition on the rocky hillside of the village of Caysaysay, that the image started to five our miracles.
The Town of Taal also prides itself on having one of the largest Catholic Basilica in Asia, the Basilica of Saint Martin of Tours, more popularly known as Taal Basilica. The imposing church emanates an old-world simplicity and has replica of Our Lady of Caysaysay. The Basilica was dedicated to the town’s patron saint St. Martin of Tours and was built in 1755 but was rebuilt a century later after it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1849.
