President Quirino’s ancestral home in Vigan, Ilocos Sur
Vigan, Ilocos Sur has earned the UNESCO Heritage List as an entire city preserved like a museum. Calle Crisologo bears that mark very well, with its cobblestone streets and Spanish homes. Still another famous landmark in Vigan is the ancestral home of President Elpidio Quirino and his wife Dona Alicia Syquia-Quirino – the Syquia Mansion.
