Vigan: Calesas and Cobblestone Calles
Transport yourself to an era that once was by wandering the iconic cobblestone paths of Calle Crisologo. In the heart of Ilocos Sur, the UNESCO World Heritage city of Vigan stands as a proud testament to the careful preservation of the Philippines' Spanish-colonial past. Experience the unique charm of horse-drawn calesas passing by 18th-century ancestral mansions, marvel at the earthquake-baroque architecture of the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral and its distinct eight-sided bell tower, and discover local woven treasures and spices at the bustling public market. Beyond the stunning visuals and architectural wonders, this journey is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of protecting and celebrating cultural heritage for future generations.
