Experience the Breathtaking Architecture of Ancient Rome in Bamban, Tarlac: A Perfect Family Weekend Getaway

(Last updated On: April 21, 2018)

In the Philippines and also in other parts of the globe, we are required to study World History for a school year usually in Third or Fourth Year High School then, and now in Grade 8 for Junior High School. And we are bored to death when it became technical and monotonous. Some of us might even feel sleepy during lectures.

But, this subject opened the door of our curiosity and inspire us for the fascinating historical events, architecture and iconic landmarks that we once wanted to see and visit. And one of them is the Colosseum.

If you have always been fascinated with the Roman architecture and always wanted to jet over to Rome, Italy, we will let you in a little secret: you can find a piece of Rome over at Bamban, Tarlac. No need for plane rides here.

The Dambana ni Yahweh

Goshen Resort, an ancient Europe-inspired resort in Bamban, Tarlac, less than three hours away from Manila is one of the newest attraction in Central Luzon. The main feature of the resort is its architectural designs that make you feel you are in ancient Rome.

The Dambana ni Yahweh is a replica of the Flavian Amphitheater called The Colosseum which was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as animal hunts, mock sea battles, the re-enactment of famous battles, executions and dramas.



🔥 The Land of Goshen is named in the Bible as the place in Egypt given to the Hebrews by the pharaoh of Joseph (Genesis 45:9-10), and the land from which they later left Egypt at the time of the Exodus. It was located in the eastern Delta of the Nile.

The pools

After you work tirelessly, you deserve to relax and help relieve your stress and toxins. Goshen Resort has a swimming area and has three pools: the Royal Pool, the Infinity Pool, and the Wave Pool that will make you feel revitalized and energized.
