The Vigan Heritage Village is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, because of its famous Hispanic houses and well-preserved Spanish colonial town, and is well-known for its cobblestone streets, and a unique architecture that fuses Philippine building design, and construction with colonial European architecture.
This is the preserved tourist attraction of Vigan, Ilocos Sur . This is the only place in Vigan where the cobblestone street have been preserved and the houses/buildings retained their relic-like appearances .
Only calesas (a horse driven carriage, transportation used during Spanish era) are allowed to pass through this street. It is a short stretch that people are encouraged to walk and enjoy exploring the souvenir stores, eating the famous Vigan Empanada or Vigan Longganisa!
