Among the historical attractions is the Bamboo Shrine located in Barangay Ligid-Tipas, which was a center of conflict during the Japanese era.
The Archdiocesan of Saint Anne on Liwayway Street, Barangay Santa Ana, was built in 1587, destroyed by an earthquake in 1645, and rebuilt in 1848. It was again destroyed by an earthquake and reconstructed in 1896.

The phases 1 and 2 of the Taguig Cultural Mapping Project took place at Kalayaan Hall in the SM Aura Office Tower on June 7, 2024. These stages included Scoping, Orientation, and Social Preparation for the project.
The NCCA Cultural Mapping Program aids in identifying and listing Taguig City's unique cultural assets. Its objective is to record the community's distinct cultural resources, create interest in cultural heritage, and develop a heritage conservation council by utilizing significant data and implementing laws to protect local cultural wealth.
In a message from Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano, she urged city's barangay officials and department heads to prioritize the program to preserve the city's history and culture.
"I am grateful to the NCCA for their visit and for their valuable time and attention. I hope that we can reciprocate this by actively participating. Our love for our barangay and city is important and should be reflected in how we take care of our history," said Cayetano.
