Lucena

Lucena extends along Tayabas Bay with mountains in the background and encompasses 33 distinct administrative districts called barangays spanning 80 square kilometers.

The settlement transformed from its original name Kalilayan to Lucena in 1879, becoming the capital of Tayabas province during the American colonial period in 1901.

The Pasayahan Festival fills the streets with parades and performances, while local residents prepare chami noodles and other regional specialties.

The central business district contains SM City mall, Pacific Mall, manufacturing facilities, and numerous commercial establishments serving the population of 278,924 residents.

The city maintains food processing industries focused on coconut products while operating as a primary fishing port and distribution center for south-central Luzon.
