Calle Crisologo: Stepping into the street of yesteryears
This is the most famous cobblestone street of Vigan. The street is lined with well-preserved houses with Hispanic, Chinese and Filipino influences. Many of these houses have now been turned into museum shops, cafe, or tourist inns.
Stepping into Calle Crisologo is like being transported into the Philippines’ past. Imagine the noise of the horse’s hooves as it traverses the cobblestone streets.
Because of its uniquess and outstanding quality, the United Nations Eductional Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has inscribed the entire city of Vigan as a World Heritage Site.

vigan really transports you back in time. it’s wonderful that they were able to preserve a part of our history. on a lighter note, another thing i love about vigan is the famous empanada –yum!

I love the picture and the rows of old buildings in it reminds me of the pre-war houses back in my hometown.
Amazing!
