The Baler Catholic Church is a historic church constructed from stone and brick which is found in the town of Baler in the province of Aurora. Originally constructed in 1611, the church is dedicated to San Luis Obispo de Tolosa and is known as the site of the Siege of Baler, which took place from 1898-1899 shortly following the end of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. The current church was built in 1939 but authentic original details may be seen inside, including the old bell, La Campana de Baler. There are markers that indicate the locations where events connected with the Siege of Baler took place. The film Baler (film), presented during the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival, was based on this historic event.

The Baler Church lies south of the Quezon Memorial Park, near the town museum, Museo de Baler, and the Mount Carmel College (Baler, Aurora). Near the plaza in front of the church is a marker in the spot where American military personnel stood when they came to negotiate with the Spaniards who were besieged in the church in 1899.

The Bridge was built not really intended for tourist attraction yet it’s more for locals use, but the distinctive view of the river from a different perspective is what makes the hanging bridge became popular . The Bridge connects the two sides which are the BrgyTibang- Brgy Sabang. It is located at the endpoint of Zabali road. Zabali Road is cement but if you are about to reach the endpoint, it is rough road. Once you will arrive at the dead end of Zabali Road, A stunning concrete bridge will welcome you. On the both sides of the stairway are few local households. There is also a small variety store at the right side. On the left side is a small way for you to view the hanging bridge from down under.
