Sta.Monica de Angat Church
- Santa Monica de Angat Church
- One of the most beautiful churches in the Philippines and also one of the oldest, estimated to be 400 years old. It displays a marvelous baroque architecture with its interior replicating the famous Sistine Chapel. Recently remodeled but preserving its old architecture. In 1983, the parish/town celebrated its tricentennial foundation and a pastoral history book was published, authored by Angelo J. and Aloma M. de los Reyes, titled, "Angat in 300 Years" under the auspices of then Sta. Monica Parish Priest, Msgr. Macario Manahan and Fiesta Committee Chair, Vicente Cruz. The book contained a Social Registry of all of the thousands of town residents. By year 2009, completing almost half a century of public service (mostly as town Mayor), Leonardo de Leon, current municipal mayor, is sponsoring a town history book (in English and in Pilipino) to be made available to local High Schools as well as civic organizations of Angatenos abroad. The book chronicles the changing features of the town and the communal life of the townsmen of one of the oldest towns of the Philippines.
