After a refreshing night at Microtel Cavite, you can explore more of General Trias and its famous landmarks and rich history. Visiting these attractions from your Cavite accommodation not only offers you an opportunity to fill your eyes with the sights and sounds of this quaint municipality. A tour will also present you with stories of people who, when faced with difficult situations, chose to struggle and eventually succeeded in life.
1. St. Francis of Assisi Parish
True to its name, St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church was founded by Franciscans in 1661. After which, it was transferred to the Jesuit order of Cavite Puerto in 1624, and finally, it became a separate parish in 1753. Known as the first church in General Trias, the church building itself was constructed in 1769. Typical of churches founded during the Spanish period, the parish was built at the local town center, close to many hotels. Cavite's St. Francis of Assisi Parish was repeatedly damaged by earthquakes and refurbished and enlarged between the 1880's to 1991. In 1992, the National Historical Institute of the Philippines (now National Historical Commission of the Philippines) declared the church a historical structure.
2. Our Lady of Guadalupe Church
A product of faith, the church was built as the fulfillment of a father's promise to Our Lady of Guadalupe after his daughter's successful heart operation. The structure was patterned after the Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe at the hills of Guadalupe in Mexico and was consecrated in 2007. One of the church's special feature is a 6-foot replica of the tilma displayed in the Prayer Room. Right outside the church is an 18-bell computer-operated carillon from the Netherlands.
3. Eagle Ridge Golf and Residential Estate
This 72-hole course brings together 4 distinct designs for a different golfing experience. The Nick Faldo Golf Course has well-defined and highly visible features. Andy Dye Golf Course maximizes the site's natural contour, allowing the player to see the lines of the bunker, lakes, mounds, and greens. Verdant thickets, water displays, and fairways characterize the Greg Norman Golf Course, while sound environmental design makes the Isao Aoki Golf Course stand on its own.
These 3 locations can be covered within a day, each journey filled with sights of charming houses and tranquil scenery. The tour can drain one's energy but Gen. Trias has plenty of affordable food outfits where you can refuel with sumptuous local and international dishes. If you want a bit of action, you can also play golf at the Eagle Ridge Golf, then relax yourself with stay at the nearby Microtel Cavite.
