If you have ever visited this city, I am sure you will not be surprised by this achievement. Located at the Western coast of the island of Luzon and capital of the province Ilocos Sur, Vigan is a World Heritage Site. Strolling along its typical cobblestone streets allows visitors to travel back in time as it is one of the few Filipino towns that have preserved its colonial architecture intact.

Vigan was originally a settlement for Chinese traders and has as well preserved its Chinese heritage evident in the popular creole families that despite its origins, have Hispanicised and adopted Spanish names. It is also visible in the colourful architecture, which fuses Oriental designs with colonial European styles.
