Camp O' Donnell
Capas, Tarlac
The camp re-creates in memory the infamous Death March of the Filipino and American soldiers held captive by the Japanese imperial forces during World War II in 1942. Located in Camp O' Donnell, seven kilometers west of Capas, it was the final stage of the tragic death march and a concentration camp with an open field which served as the dumping grave site of nearly 30,000 Filipino and American soldiers who died with debilitating diseases. An obelisk and a museum stand tall to immortalize the memory of the heroes of democracy and freedom.

Diwa ng Tarlak
Tarlac City, Tarlac
A civic and convention center built during the time of Gov. Federico Peralta, it houses a convention hall, ballroom, trade exhibit hall and dining facilities. It is a favorite venue for special functions such as seminars and conferences.

Sto. Domingo Death March Marker
Capas, Tarlac
The site where about 60,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war cramped like sardines in closed box-cars were loaded to start the second phase of the tragic Death March. There were already more than 30,000 of these defenders of democracy and freedom who perished from the inhuman treatment they were subjected to during the trip from Abucay and Mariveles, Bataan to San Fernando, Pampanga. The survivors started their tortuous journey here to Camp O' Donnel.
