| About this scrapbook page: |
|
The City of Vigan in Ilocos province, Philippines, is a uniquely well-preserved Spanish style city on the other side of the world from Spain. Its origins go back to the Spanish conquistadores who arrived in the Philippines in the 16th century and it was an important trading post for centuries before that. The Spanish brought with them their building styles, houses, churches and religion, and created a city which mixes Spanish, Filipino and Chinese influences.

Very interesting stuff. I had not realised that te Phillipines was one of the Spanish conquests, but I suppose that the name derives from Phillip of Spain. The Spanish were as bad as the Brits in that respect lol!!
