The Sto. Niño Shrine and Heritage Museum stands on what used to be the Romualdez Nipa Hut. Designed by Jorge Ramos, the Sto. Niño Shrine has a 100-seater chapel and 13 guestrooms on the first floor, and 7 bedrooms (each for the Marcos family member) and a 30-seater dining conference room and ballroom on the second floor. It houses original paintings of famous Filipino painters like Manalad, Malang and Amorsolo. Behind the building is an olympic-size swimming pool. All of these of course do not have proper maintenance since it was sequestered from the Marcos family, so the building has lost its opulence. Tourists can tour inside for a fee.
