Calle crisology vigan

Nice place to visit

Had a really great time strolling at Calle Crisologo. 💕

Plaza Salcedo (Luneta Park Musical Dancing Fountain) is a charming spot that adds to the city's beauty. It's a must-visit for a leisurely stroll. The ambiance is lovely, especially in the evenings.

Go there during the day, but definitely make sure to be there in the evening at about 6.30-7pm. It is a rare water and music show. Bring the kids! Enjoy the music and the dance of the water, and the stunning laser effects. I and my family really enjoyed and loved it.

One of the things that is a must when you visit Vigan is watch the dancing fountain at the plaza right across the Vigan Cathedral. Shows starts promptly at 7:00 pm every night and lasts for 20 minutes. Benches are provided around the fountain where the public can enjoy the show. Vendors roam around the area selling water, popcorn and snacks. The show is free.

This so far is the most amazing dancing fountain I ever witness compared to Okada, QC Circle, and Luneta. It's a must see when you visit Vigan. You'll totally enjoy the scenes.

A very significant historical site where one of the greatest revolutionaries was executed, Gabriela Silang. The plaza is well preserved for its present state, you can still see structures that are from the Spanish era. If you are looking for a place in Vigan City that also holds significant value Plaza Salcedo is a place to visit. We went there last year for a short while but still a very good place to visit if you're just passing by.

We have visited the place a lot of times but its our first time to watch the dancing lights. Yes it was quite spectacular and pretty awesome lights. Space was too crowded, since it was a holiday. It was free of charge to witness the light show. We also had a hard time to find a place for sight seeing at the same time there are no RamPs ♿ for we brought our mother with us. Parking is a limbo, since it is a holiday.

Great place to end the evening! Uplifting music together with the dancing fountain. The kiddies loved it and screamed when it started. Starts promptly at 7 pm. Sit on the side facing Crisologo for the best view of the laser show.

A must watch music dancing fountain... after visiting the Vigan the whole day, this is the best part to end the day... we really enjoyed this place and the dancing fountain of course... they even played k-pop songs.

By dark, large crowds gathered. A dance was going on. Food vendors and it’s nice and cooler in evening.

Dancing fountain is only open at night. When it is midday, the place is hot and not an ideal place to standby. The brick roads also need repair because it is uneven now.

I really recommend to go there it's such an art piece to me I even Recorded 2 videos of the Fountain! If your at Jollibee in front of the fountain you can kinda see it afar it was so cool :3

Absolutely recommended! The dancing fountain starts at 730. Make you you get there early to get a seat. Tips: sit on the same side with the house which control the light and everything.

The light show starts at 7.30 and lasts till 8pm. Get there at 7pm for a good seat and to take in the atmosphere or grab some food.

Dancing fountains start at 7:30pm every night but plan to be there earlier if you want to sit in the stands that surround the fountain. We came when it was windy so the water sprayed alot of people haha. The event lasts for 30 minutes and the lights and lasers on the fountains make it look really nice! I think they play different songs every night too.

Viva Vigan in Ilocos Sur is a charming destination that takes visitors on a journey back in time to experience the rich history and cultural heritage of the Philippines. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vigan's well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture and cobblestone streets offer a glimpse into the country's colonial past.Walking through the streets of Vigan feels like stepping into a bygone era, with its beautifully restored ancestral houses, quaint shops selling local crafts and delicacies, and horse-drawn carriages known as "kalesas" meandering through the narrow streets.One of the highlights of a visit to Vigan is exploring Calle Crisologo, the city's main thoroughfare, lined with elegant Spanish colonial buildings dating back to the 18th century. It's a photographer's paradise, with its picturesque facades and old-world charm.

They gave me VIP access to seat on the terrace and see this when I mentioned I am a foreigner. Thanks to the management it was also their Provinces parade day which they celebrate once in 365 days I saw that too.

Dancing fountain lights Starts at 730pm and ends at 8pm. Plaza is spacious and kids can play. Pet friendly if not too much crowd.

We weren't able to go to Bantay Bell Tower as it was under renovation. We were allowed to take a pic from a distance. The place itself was enchanting for someone who's into history and everything that is from olden times. The only negative thing is the person or people who's offering their services to take your pictures and videos. Not sure if they are hired by the local government or if they are aware of it. If they are, I highly suggest they the local government provides training to these people so that they can have their income and at the same time provide a good service to tourists.

About 1km from Vigan, but worth the trip. Great views of the surrounding area. A tough little climb to get to the top, so pack your working knees, but worth it.

This original kept from the spanish colony era what happen to the Philippines. That is an stunning tower from upper level to look over the flat landscape. This pictures are just some days old before the great earthquake damaged this old building. Enjoy it and god do bless you all please!

There is a sense of history when visiting this part of the Philippines. I felt nostalgic knowing that the bricked tower that I was at that moment was already present during the late 1500’s. The last time I visited this place was back 2013 and I am sad that it was affected by the recent earthquake that hit Vigan. We could still climb up the stairs inside the tower and from there the view of the whole municipality of Bantay can be seen but it was closed during our visit. The Manong tour guides will take your picture and don’t forget to tip Manong when he helps you with amazing photos just at the entrance.

Not allowed to go inside anymore because of the hazards. Still under reconstruction and reenforcement due to last year’s earthquake. Sana makabalik ako kapag ok na ang area. The tower gate was a bit crowded for tourists taking photos as well.

Historic Watch Tower. Mini outdoor chapel outside Bantay Church too if you need to take a restroom break for a donation. Entrance to watch tower grounds asks for a donation and registration prior to entry. The cultural minimum for locals is at 10 pesos or up. In Filipino culture, it is phrased as a donation, but the shame of losing face from not giving would make you give. It's for the upkeep of the tower, consider it like a small environmental fee like when you go to local beaches. Economically, the donation is just a drop in the ocean and may not be enough to preserve it. The watch tower was closed when we arrived, so we could only take photos from the outside. At the time, people weren't climbing up and stayed near the ground. There are locals there who would offer to take your photo. One particular old man looked desperate to eat. Already rejected him yet kept coming back and begged the group. I let him take my photo with the tricks, just gave a tip afterwards. The tricks were fun to do anyways. It would seem like you're holding the bell tower from above, pushing, or holding it from below. You can also do some tricks with the clay jar pot. Just check the picture afterwards because the photos could get out of focus. If you like towers, this is a must-see even from afar. With the tower closed, there's nothing much to do. Hope they reopen the inside soon.

Bell tower is beautiful from afar. However, due to the earthquake that struck last 2022 in Ilocos, you can no longer go near or inside the tower. You can be very creative in capturing your photos instead. ☺️

Due to the earthquake, you can't enter the tower now. Regretful. The Philippine heritage was damaged by the earthquake. It is a beautiful and pious place

With its impressive architecture and panoramic views, this centuries-old bell tower offers a glimpse into the region's rich cultural and architectural heritage.

Bell tower was closed and they are currently renovating the church. You'll need to register first before entering and you can also leave your items at the registration area for safekeeping. There's not much visitor here when we went.

We came today before the year ends. The bantay tower is closed. However, you can take a picture from outside. There was a tour guide to inform you the details of the Bantay Tower which was built in 1500s. The word itself was to guard St. Augistine Parish. There was just a registration book on the entrance to register your name and a donation box for maintenance of the Bantay Bell tower.

Despite the July 2022 earthquake, the Bantay Bell Tower stands tall and proud. It's a testament to its resilience. A must-visit historical site. The view from the top is breathtaking! 𝑷𝑳𝑬𝑨𝑺𝑬.

Unfortunately, the bell tower was off limits and under repair due to a recent earthquake. We parked far from where the church is located and there were a lot of other people at the time we visited. We couldn't get a good picture of the bell tower so we just said our prayer. Outside the church, we bought some native delicacies called "tinubong" or coconut milk-laced rice cake in bamboo tube.

its unfortunate that you cannot enter the bell tower premise anymore. you can only sight see from the gate outside. nonetheless, it was a sight to see. i wished i could enter and roam around the area though! also, the church here is still under construction so you can only see its exterior. no entrance fee but the people manning the place would ask for your donation. and for some reason, my tourist guide handed me over to another person from the area and took a lot of pictures of me with the tower with such touristy vibes (even if i didnt asked 🥲😅) had to tip him afterwards.

Go and visit Vigan City where there so many historic place to visit. The foods were great , the people are very hospitable and friendly. You can find here the oldest churches in Vigan City

Rich history and rich owners! Lol! I wish there was a tour guide to provide more stories and explanation. But, it's great how they preserved their things in the house. The carvings on the furniture are intricate. The house is really big. It made me imagine how people lived in the olden times. :)

An interesting history of a local wealthy family. It gives a great insight into life for the wealthy at that time.

What a beautiful museum to visit to understand the legacies and heritage of Vigan. well worth the 75 pesos to enter.

The mansion provides you with a rich history of Vigan, President Quirino and and the Philippines in general. The staff in the ground floor can tour you through the house and will tell you interesting insights and things you would not read anywhere else. So I would highly recommend to do a tour with them. A lot of furniture is still original and creates this cozy historical feeling and let's you immerse in the living conditions of the family back in the day.

I dont know how to explain it but im so amaze with this peoples live back then. This mansion describe how rich they are. With their Chinese ancestry selling blue and white porcelain in 18th centuries.

Beautifully preserved with detailed information about each room. Its worth visiting.

Entrance fee is php100 for adults and php40 for kids, seniors and pwd. This mansion is privately owned thus the fee is for its maintenance. There's an assigned local guide to show you around and share the history of the family, the house and items in it. Good to learn history in actual places which were only thought in textbooks and inside classrooms.

Good 👍 free entrance
