Vigan, a city in the Philippines, is a beautifully preserved example of a Spanish colonial town in Asia, distinguished by its cobblestone streets and unique fusion of Asian and European architecture. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a glimpse into the Philippines' colonial past. The city's heart is Calle Crisologo, where horse-drawn carriages and ancestral houses create a nostalgic atmosphere. Vigan is also famous for its traditional crafts, including pottery and weaving, and its savoury cuisine, like the famous Vigan empanada. The city's blend of cultural heritage, historical charm, and vibrant local life makes it a captivating destination for history enthusiasts and cultural explorers.
Walking through Calle Crisologo transports you back to the Spanish colonial era. Cobblestone streets lined with well-preserved ancestral homes, intricate woodwork, and antique streetlamps provide a nostalgic ambiance. As dusk sets, the streets are bathed in a soft glow from the lamps, making it an ideal setting for evening walks, horse-drawn carriage rides, and relishing the ambiance of bygone days.
Vigan's culinary scene is rich with traditional Ilocano flavours. Delight in local dishes like Vigan longganisa (garlic sausage), bagnet (crispy pork belly), and empanada (stuffed pastry). Visit local markets or dine in ancestral houses turned restaurants to savour these treats. Each bite tells a story of the region's history, influenced by Spanish and indigenous tastes.
Discover the opulent lifestyle of Vigan's mestizo elite at the Syquia Mansion. Once the residence of the sixth Philippine president, Elpidio Quirino, this mansion showcases a collection of antique furniture, artwork, and personal memorabilia. Guided tours provide insights into the Philippines' colonial past and the city's prominent families.
At Pagburnayan, Vigan's pottery district, witness the age-old craft of jar-making. Local artisans skilfully mould clay into traditional pots using hand-turned wheels. Engage in hands-on sessions, trying your hand at creating your own pottery piece. It's not just about crafting, but understanding the intricacy and history behind this ancient art form.
The grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral, with its Baroque architectural style, is a testament to Vigan's rich spiritual heritage. After marvelling at its ornate interiors, head to the nearby Plaza Salcedo. By night, the plaza transforms into a vibrant spectacle with the Vigan Dancing Fountain Show – a mesmerizing display of water, light, and music.
Navigate the serene waters of the Mestizo River on a guided cruise. As you float along, local storytellers share tales of Vigan's history, folklore, and transformation. Flanked by lush landscapes and witnessing daily life along the banks, this journey offers both relaxation and a deeper understanding of the city's roots.
