Calamba Claypot, also known as the Calamba Jar and The Banga, is a landmark in Calamba, Laguna, Philippines which is the largest claypot in the world. It is located at the City Plaza near Calamba Church and Rizal Shrine. Built in 1937, it was constructed as a reference to the origin of the town's name from kalamba, meaning "water jar", with names of the cities and villages inscribed on its exterior. The giant claypot can also be found in the city's official seal. Read more on Wikipedia
