- San Guillermo Church - Among the oldest and largest churches in Pampanga, it was built by the Augustinian friars in 1576 on land owned by Don Guillermo Manabat, a wealthy landlord thought to be Bacolor’s founder. Fr. Manuel Diaz restored the church in 1897. It measures 56 meters in length, 15 meters in width, and 12 meters in height. The church features a central nave and a spacious, well-lit transept with windows. The main retablo, side retablos, and pulpit are adorned with gold leaf. The elaborate decoration of Bacolor reflects its advanced baroque style. Despite being half-buried by the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption on October 1, 1995, masses continue every Sunday morning.
- St Paul Metropolitan Cathedral - Constructed in the “earthquake baroque” style, characterized by thick walls and a massive structure, this church was rebuilt after being damaged by earthquakes in 1619 and 1627. The original wooden, thatched church is believed to have been overseen by Salcedo himself in 1574.
- Crisologo Museum - The Crisologo Museum is the ancestral home of former Ilocos Sur Representative Floro Crisologo and his family, one of the province’s most prominent political families. This ancestral house has been transformed into a museum, showcasing hundreds of memorabilia that offer a glimpse into the past.
- Paoay Church - A UNESCO World Heritage site, Paoay Church is constructed from coral blocks and stucco-plastered bricks, blending Gothic, Baroque, and Oriental designs.
- St. William’s Cathedral - Built in the Italian Renaissance style in the 1870s, long before the McDonald’s that now stands in front of it, its weathered bell tower is slowly sinking into the soft riverside loam.
