Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery
Nagcarlan, Laguna

Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery is the only cemetery in the country that works as a meeting place for the rebel leaders of Laguna. Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery is located at an irregular terrain north of Mount San Cristobal. The cemetery facing the road has a vaulted entrance about 18 feet and two iron-grill gates.

Father Vicente Belloc, a Franciscan missionary, built the underground cemetery in 1851. Today, the new Nagcarlan partially restored was acknowledged as a national historical shrine, and the only one in the Philippines. Its’ baroque structure is being converted into a cultural enter where cultural, historical and religious presentation can be held.
