FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE HISTORIC CITY OF VIGAN - ARCHITECTURE AND TRAVEL

October 31, 2000
MABUHAY!

Traveling to Vigan City gives you the flavor of the old Spanish era in the Philippines. Old stone houses, cobblestone streets with old model lamp posts, horse-drawn carriages locally known as "Calesa," and other ancestral stuff give you the feeling you are frozen back in time. The historic city of Vigan is the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia and is included in the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE COLLECTION

THE VIGAN CATHEDRAL
Vigan Cathedral, known in modern times as the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle, was originally built in 1574. The Cathedral is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
