Calle Crisologo in Vigan City

Kamestizoan District in Vigan is replete with ancestral houses with ancient tile roofs, massive hardwood floorings, ballustrades and azoteas in varying Spanish-Mexican-Chinese architectural styles. Calle Crisologo brings back the old Spanish atmosphere starting with the cobblestone streets, the gorgeous backdrop of the old houses against the shadows of each houses, and of course the the clacking noise of horse driven carriage, kalesa.

Calle Crisologo - Mena Crisologo Street

This is the most photographed site in the city. They say, you have never been to Vigan, unless you walked through this street and posed for all the world to see.

The major attraction of Vigan is its mestizo district which is filled with Spanish-style houses that evoke a bygone era when its people lived prosperously because of the Manila-Acapulco maritime trade.
For visitors who want to experience being transporte...d back to this period in Philippine Spanish colonial time, a walk or a calesa ride through Vigan’s Calle Crisologo or Mena Crisologo Street is a must.
