  • The Ancestral House of MANUEL R. GONZALES, 1871-1926 (Philanthropist and Presidente/Mayor, San Ildefonso, 1921-1923) and RAFAELA V. VIOLAGO, 1874-1963 (Philanthropist and Great Grand Matriarch, Violago Clan, Ang Tipan). Situated at the heart of Poblacion across the public market, this is the sanctuary of the Santo Entierro, centuries old heirloom of the Gonzales-Violago-Veneracion Clan with Annual Funeral Processions on Good Fridays.
  • The Century Old House, also known as Malaking Bahay (Mansion) of San Ildefonso was occupied by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. It served as Japanese Military Garrison where they killed many Filipino soldiers and guerrilla fighters. The house withstood 4 bombs dropped by American fighter-bombers led by Gen. Douglas MacArthur to defeat the Japanese, 1945. Shrapnel markings are visible in some parts of the house. First Lt. Serafin Violago Gonzales is the hero in the family. He died in action fighting the Japanese invaders.
  • The 5th Annual Reunion of the prestigious Ang Tipan, Angkan ng mga Veneracion, was held in April 1959 at the GONZALES-VIOLAGO-VENERACION Ancestral House hosted by RAFAELA V. VIOLAGO vda. de GONZALES and her children: Carlos V. Gonzales, Milagros G. Pinero, Felicitas G. Samaniego, Maura G. Cruz-Herrera and Jose (Tinio) Violago Gonzales. Rafaela (Impong Pelang) was one of the founding members of Ang Tipan in Baliuag, Bulacan, 1955.
