NAGCARLAN UNDERGROUND CEMETERY

A national historical landmark and museum in Barangay Bambang, Nagcarlan, Laguna supervised by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. It was built in 1845 under the supervision of Franciscan priest, Fr. Vicente Velloc as a public burial site and its underground crypt exclusively for Spanish friars, prominent town citizens and members of elite Catholic families. It is dubbed as the only underground cemetery in the country. TAKE NOTE: When visiting the place, They don't allow taking pictures with flash. Why? at first, we thought we might capture or disturb some spirits. But when they say the reason why, it gives us a trivia.  They don't allow flashes because it helps them to preserve the place. Camera flash may harm the structure of the historical place. Perfect view. <3 exactly at the center.
