Taking its name from Philip II, King of Spain during the Spanish colonisation of the area during the 16th century, the Philippines became an independent state in the early 1900s. Following 333 years of Spanish rule, the Spanish influences on their culture left a unique legacy, from ancient buildings to words used to describe certain areas to historic landmarks in the Philippines.

The Philippines is an island country consisting of around 7000 island and islets. The landscapes are beautiful and dangerous, with some of the most active volcanoes in the world on its islands. Filled with a vast and varying history, and beautiful hidden treasure natural landmarks, the Philippines is an incredible country to explore. Here are 20 Philippines landmarks you must visit when exploring this amazing country.

Natural Landmarks in the Philippines

1- Chocolate Hills

Bohol’s Chocolate Hills are stunning natural landmarks of the Philippines.

The Chocolate Hills in Bohol Province number at least 1260 almost symmetrical hills. Their name derives from their appearance following dry spells, where the green grass turns brown.

The hills, of which there are believed to be as many as 1776, are spread across an area of roughly 50 square kilometres.

The hills vary in height and size, but their rounded dome peaks make them appear from a distance identical.

Legend has it that the hills were made following a feud between two giants.

The giants threw rocks, boulders and sand at each other, and what was left on the landscape became the Chocolate Hills.

Recommended tour: From Bohol & Panglao Island: Full-Day Bohol Tour

2- Banaue Rice Terraces

Banaue Rice Terrance is a beautiful Philippines landmark to see.

On the island of Luzon, the Banaue Rice Terraces are in the Cordilleras area.

The fields have been important to the Ifuago (wet-rice growers) since around the 1st century when they began to build the terraces.

The terraces resemble steps that have been carved into the side of the mountains.

The steps form part of an elaborate irrigation system, allowing the rice to grow in precisely the right environment.

The terraces cover approximately 4000 square miles of land and make for a spectacular landscape.

Recommended tour: From Makati: 4-Day Sagada and Banaue Rice Terraces Tour

3- Mayon Volcano

Mayon Volcano, or Mount Mayon, is in the province of Albay in Bicol Region of the island of Luzon.

The volcano is famous for its perfect cone top and almost symmetrical shape and is still active, last erupting in 2019.

Despite this, people flock to Mayon from all over the world to get a glimpse of this mighty volcano.

Mayon is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines and is feared by locals for its destructive powers.

The last major eruption in 1993 left many dead and homeless.

The volcano stands at 2462 meters high, and its crater consists of a gigantic chamber filled with molten rocks.

Recommended tour: Legazpi: Mayon Volcano ATV Tour

4- Puerto Princesa’s Subterranean River

Puerta Princessa underground river is one of the unique landmarks in the Philippines.

Within the Puerto Princesa park lies a hidden river, which flows underground and much of the park’s landscape sits on a limestone bed.

The river runs through the limestone and directly into the sea, making parts of this subterranean river tidal.

Due to its location, the river and surrounding parkland are part of a diverse ecosystem encompassing both the mountains and the sea, giving it some of Asia’s most important forestry systems.

Boat tours take tourists through the subterranean river, where they can see underground waterfalls and crystal-lined caves.

Recommended tour: From Puerto Princesa: Underground River Full-Day Trip

5- Taal Lake and Volcano

This volcano is another of the most stunning natural landmarks in the Philippines.

Taal Lake and Volcano is in the province of Batangas.

The Taal Volcano, the second most active in the Philippines, after Mayon, has recorded 34 historical eruptions.

Taal Lake is freshwater and was formed from a volcanic eruption between 500,000 and 100,000 years ago.

The lake is the third-largest lake in the country, and its waters can range from deep blues to greens, making it a spectacular sight to see.

As the volcano sits in the middle of the lake, part of the lake covers the Taal Caldera, filling it with water.

Recommended tour: From Manila: Taal Volcano and Lake Boat Sightseeing Tour

6- Tubbataha Reefs

The Tubbataha Reef Marine Park covers an area of approximately 100,000 hectares of marine habitats.

The reef is in the Sulu Sea and lies 50km southwest of the mainland, making it an excellent area for conservation.

Due to its sheer size, the marine park offers many diverse habitats including reefs, deep-sea trenches, and islets where nesting birds and turtles head.

Within the reef itself, more than 600 species of tropical fish, 50% of all coral species in the world, tiger sharks and endangered species such as green sea turtles can be found.

Journeying to the reef should only be attempted between March and June, however, the 10-12 hour boat journey does make for spectacular diving opportunities.

7- Tinuy-an Falls

A hidden treasure of the Philippines, Tinuy-an Falls cascades over three levels from heights of 55 meters.

The falls are popular with swimmers, who take advantage of the cool waters on particularly humid days.

Rafts are available to take tourists closer to the falls.

The name Tinuy-an translates to ‘intentional act’ in the local dialect and is linked to folklore.

It is said that tribesmen from Agusan captured people living on the Magdiwata Mountain and enslaved them.

They were forced to make small boats and then row their masters along the river.

The slaves used this as an opportunity to guide the boats to the falls, and push their masters over the edge.

Historical Philippines Landmarks

8- Leyte Landing Monument

One of the Philippines many monuments commemorating moments during WWII, Leyte Landing Monument represents a fulfilled promise.

In 1942, when Japanese forces occupied the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur from the US Armed Forces infamously said “I shall return”, meaning he would return to the country and free the people from Japanese occupation.

In 1944, MacArthur landed back on the Philippines by boat and fought to regain control of the country, by pushing the Japanese out.

The site where he returned is marked by statues of American soldiers, and General MacArthur, standing in a shallow pool of water.

Two commemorative plaques have also been laid, retelling the story.

9- Fort San Pedro

Now partly ruined, Fort San Pedro was built in 1565 upon the orders of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, who conquered the Philippines during the 1500s.

The fort served for many years as an army garrison, prison camp and even acted as the cities zoo for a time.

What is left of the fort dates to the 18th century and features a decorated arched gateway and small ramparts.

Within its walls, a walled garden has been built, allowing locals and tourists a place to escape the hustle and bustle in Cebu.

10- Basilica del Santo Nino

In Cebu stands the Basilica del Santo Nino, the oldest basilica in the Philippines.

The building was constructed in the 1700s and was built to be able to survive earthquakes.

The façade is simple in its design, taking influences from Muslim, Romanesque and Neoclassical architectural styles.

Inside, ceilings are decorated with elaborate paintings depicting biblical scenes.

It is however the holy relic of Santo Nino that draws people to this beautiful basilica.

The relic is a gem-festooned statue of the holy infant Jesus and was a gift for Queen Juana for her baptism in 1521.

It is said that during a fire that destroyed much of Cebu and the church itself, the relic remained undamaged.

Recommended tour: Cebu City: Half-Day Tour with Shopping

11- Cagsawa Ruins

Another interesting historical landmark in the Phillipines is the Cagsawa Ruins.

Cagsawa Ruins in Albay, with views over Mayon Volcano, are the centrepiece of a park with the same name.

The ruins are of a church built in 1724 by Franciscan friars and was originally built to replace a church that Dutch pirates had destroyed.

Cagsawa was however sadly buried, along with the town and surrounding landscape during an eruption of nearby Mayon Volcano in 1814.

Townsfolk fled to the church for protection, but sadly around 1200 of those who sought refuge from the volcano here died.

Today only the church’s belfry remains and has stood stable despite other natural disasters hitting the country.

12- Aguinaldo Shrine

One of the most important historical landmarks in the Philippines is Aguinaldo Shrine.

The shrine is in Kawit, where the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain in 1898 was signed.

The shrine is actually a house and was built from wood and thatch in 1845.

Within the shrine is a dedicated museum containing important artefacts from the first President including car plates, chess pieces and epaulettes.

The shrine has many secrets housed within its walls.

There is a lot to explore, from furniture with hidden compartments to secret tunnels leading away from the shrine to the church.

13- Fort Drum

Fort Drum is a heavily fortified island in Manila Bay.

The sea fort, built from reinforced concrete, is shaped like a battleship and was built by the American Armed Forces during 1909 to bolster harbour defences.

The fort is now abandoned, however rusting guns are still in place around the concrete structure.

Following the Spanish-American War, the American military wanted to have a strong defence system in place in Manila Bay.

By levelling El Fraile Island, and building a fortress designed to look like a battleship, the island appeared intimidating.

The fort was abandoned after WWII but makes for a stark reminder of the conflict for those visiting.

14- Corregidor Island

Located at the entrance to Manila Bay, Corregidor Island is strategically placed as a military fortress.

The island itself is comprised of many abandoned military buildings.

The oldest building on Corregidor is the lighthouse, which dates back to 1853.

Below ground is a series of tunnels that were used to move munitions and soldiers around the fortress.

The tunnels are rumoured to be haunted by Japanese soldiers who took their own lives before being defeated by Americans and Filipino soldiers.

The island now serves as a war memorial to all soldiers who fought and lost their lives there.

The Landmark opened in 1988 on the ruins of the fire-ravaged Makati Supermarket (destroyed in 1985 and demolished soon after). It was founded by Teddy Keng, the son of the founders of Anson's Emporium (now Anson's), whose second store was located at A. Arnaiz Avenue south of the edifice.[1][2] The Makati flagship branch was the third department store established within the Ayala Center after SM Makati and Rustan's, and is known for having some items lower priced than most department stores in Metro Manila. The Makati branch was redeveloped in 2013 with the addition of another sales floor. Mary Mother of Hope Chapel, a Roman Catholic chapel on the building's fifth level, was opened as well, serving as the home chapel for the Glorietta complex. The chapel's name was given by then-Archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle.[1]

Mary Mother of Hope Chapel, Landmark TriNoma

In 2007, the TriNoma branch was opened to the public and is now an anchor store for TriNoma. This underwent expansion in 2015, thus becoming the largest Landmark branch ever built. The third floor of the expansion was opened to public on September 8, 2017, coinciding with the inauguration of Landmark's second chapel, which is the namesake of the first chapel in Makati, at the fourth level. The chapel has a seating capacity of 2,200 – which is the largest of its kind in Metro Manila.[1]

In 2014, Landmark was selected to become the anchor store for Festival Alabang expansion and redevelopment in Filinvest City, Muntinlupa. The supermarket opened on July 28, 2017, and the department store opened on October 6, 2017. It is the first branch of Landmark to be opened in southern Metro Manila.[3]

In mid-2019, The Landmark opened its first-ever provincial branch, located at Ayala Malls Solenad in Nuvali, Santa Rosa, Laguna.[4]

The Landmark branch in Bonifacio Global City opened on October 1, 2021 with only the supermarket. Located at first two levels of Three Parkade parking building, it is the company's smallest store. The department store on the upper level later opened in December 2021.[5]
