- Maritime Museum
Gaze at relics from the deep.
Collected straight from Subic's wrecks are artifacts from sunken vessels that highlight Subic Bay's significant historical role. Sunken national treasures, some dating as early as 1898, are on display at Magellan's Landing, a maritime museum conceived by a visitor-turned-resident diving enthusiast.
- Heroes' Trail
Track the path of the brave.
Follow the trail of our heroic forefathers and revisit their quest to establish an identity that's uniquely Filipino. Bring to life the highlights of the country's rich history with the first outdoor, walk-through, light and sound museum. Get to know the great names and momentous undertakings behind what is now called Republika ng Pilipinas.
- Cultural Performances
Feast on color, sound, and motion.
Dance drama with classical music in the background; shadow plays for the kids and the kids at heart; or theatrical performances for the lovers of thespian acts - the Freeport promotes the appreciation of culture and the arts with superb entertainment performances from local talents and from some of the country's best artist groups.
- Spanish Gate
In March 8, 1885, the Spanish Naval Commission authorized the construction of an arsenal at Olongapo. The Spanish Gate Served as the main entrance to this Naval Station.
- San Roque Church
Established around the 1800's, the San Roque Church was built for the Spanish sailors and Filipinos who were converted to Christianity.
- Grande Island
The island, formerly called Fort Wint in honor of Gen. Theodore J. Wint, was heavily fortified by the U.S. Army between 1909 and 1919. Gun emplacements were constructed to protect Subic Bay. Now, the island is transformed into a world-class resort.
- Admiral's Guest House
The former 10-bed Camilia Simpson hospital was converted into the quarters of the Commander of the Subic Bay Naval Station. Now, it is preserved as a special function facility of the SBMA.
- Tappan Park
The park was named after Captain Benjamin Tappan, Commandant of the Navy Yard (1914-1915). It is the oldest and most symbolic park in the Olongapo and Subic Bay Area.
- Inang Laya Monument
Portrayal of a robed woman releasing a small bird while upon her feet, twelve handprints, set in marble, of the Philippine Senators who voted for the removal of the U.S. military facilities in the country. The Volunteers Monument honors the thousands of Filipinos who preserved the facilities left by the Americans after pulling out in 1992 and worked to jumpstart the conversion process.
