Vigan City: A Peek into Spanish-Colonial Philippines
As part of my PhD dissertation field work last October 2014, I found myself in the
western coast of Northern Luzon island in the Philippines where the city of Vigan,
capital of Ilocos Sur province is located. This city is famous for its preserved Spanish
colonial district It is 408 kilometers from Manila, with a total land area of 28.86
square kilometers(Vigan CPDO, 2011).
