Vigan is also known as the Villa Fernandina. It was founded by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. It was originally a settlement of the chinese traders from fujian province. It considered as one of the best-preserved Spanish colonial towns in Asia. With cobblestone streets lined with ancestral homes and colonial buildings that display notable Spanish architecture and design influences from old Europe and China, the city has since preserved its authentic grid street plan. As a result, it has earned the honor of UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New7Wonders Cities.
Vigan is one of the most popular tourist destinations, both domestically and internationally, due to its spectacular and distinctive features. When people visit historic homes, they are in awe and appear to have a sense of being from or belonging to the past. Many people are delighted that Vigan has a special respect for the vibrant and vivid art of the past, which is full with unique knowledge and lessons to be learned.
Even though today's life continues to flourish and modernization is more developed, the city of Vigan will never lose its old-fashioned and historic charm. With that, I can proudly say that because of the city's great appreciation and love for its origin and independence, this makes the city of Vigan different and unique from any other place in the world.
