Tanauan, Component city in Batangas, Philippines.

The city spans across elevated terrain at 168 meters above sea level, featuring a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial districts.

Following the 1754 eruption of Taal Volcano, the inhabitants of Tanauan relocated from their settlement near Taal Lake to the current location.

The Old Tanauan Church Ruins contain archaeological findings from the colonial period, including human remains that provide insights into past civilizations.

Located 64 kilometers south of Manila and 41 kilometers north of Batangas City, Tanauan connects to major transportation routes in Luzon.

The name Tanauan stems from the Tagalog word 'tanaw', relating to the act of looking through windows, reflecting the area's observational vantage points.
