Taal is a place not a lot of people know. We usually associate Taal with the famous volcano viewed from Tagaytay. But the only similarity Taal Town has with Taal Volcano is they’re located in the same province. Taal was once the capital of Batangas, which means the prominent, powerful and rich were the residents of the area. Its grandeur is evident even today, with the magnificent houses, the massive basilica and the prominent individuals who once called Taal, their home.
Before going to Taal, research the places you may want to visit. Google doesn’t have a street map of Taal town, so we just asked around to get to the places we wanted to see. I found this website that has an extensive and informative list of interesting places and they recently added a map:
