Calle Crisologo: Stepping into the street of yesteryears
Posted by on August 23, 2006
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.
Fantastic city! I do hope they find the money to continue the restoration of the houses.
