Calamba Claypot, Clay pot monument at City Plaza in Calamba, Philippines.
The Calamba Claypot stands 12 meters high in the center of City Plaza, near the Calamba Church and Rizal Shrine in Laguna Province.
Felipe Samaniego, a graduate from the University of the Philippines, constructed this monument between 1937 and 1939 following Mayor Roman Lazaro's approval.
The names of all 54 barangays of Calamba are inscribed on the giant jar, which represents the traditional water vessels used by local inhabitants.
Visitors can reach the monument through local transportation options such as jeepneys and tricycles that regularly operate around the City Plaza area.
The structure combines the words 'kalan' meaning clay stove and 'banga' meaning clay water jar, forming the term Calambanga that influenced the city name.
