Suhot Cave and Spring
Situated in Dumalag, Capiz and only 300 meters away from the provincial road. It is actually a series of interconnected caverns of different sizes,
At the cave's arched entrance is a pool of clear, ice cold water fed by a rock spring from within the cave. Further on, however, is a crack in the rocks where sulphurous water comes out. Suhot is believed to have a connecting tunnel to the Badiang Cave, Dumarao. Since both caves are found in the same mountain only 6 km apart from each other but Badiang is on higher elevation. On the other hand, entrance to Badiang is hidden by dense jungle. In pre-war days, phosphate was said to have been extracted from the cave but it was a short-live effort.

Santa Monica Parish Church
The Santa Monica Parish Church (Spanish: Iglesia Parroquial de Santa Mónica), commonly known as Panay Church, is the oldest church on the island of Panay located in Panay Municipality, Capiz, Philippines. It is also the home of the largest church bell in the Philippines and the fifth biggest in the world.
The original structure of the church was built during the term of Fr. Manuel Lopez between 1692 and 1698, but it was reported that a typhoon had ruined it. In 1774, Fr. Miguel Murguía rebuilt the church, but it was also later damaged by a typhoon on 15 January 1875. Fr. José Beloso restored the church in 1884.
Birthplace of Manuel Roxas

The house of the late president, Manuel Roxas, is declared a national historical sitess. It is the oldest house in Roxas City and is still in the good condition despite the passage of time. It has survived the destruction of World War II. The house has undergone several renovations to its structure. The management of the house is still in the hands of Roxas’ relatives. Furniture and some of the memorabilia of the president can be found in the house.
Olotayan island
Olotayan Island is an island of legend. The name is a combination of olo (“head”) and “tyan” (stomach), as a Capiz legend tells of a cruel giant whose body the anitos (gods) struck with lightning, scattering his body parts all over the sea. Nearer to Roxas’ shore is Mantalinga Island – reportedly the giant’s “mata” (eyes) and “talinga” (ears).
