syquia mansion印象

Definitely worth a visit, it gives you an impression how a very well-to-do family in Vigan lived a good hundred years ago. A guide is available upon request, I walked leisurely through the rooms and halls on my own though. A little more info would have been appreciated but can presumably be found on the Internet.

Our visit to the Syquia Mansion was very interesting. A staff from the mansion gave us a tour. The history and the stories he told us was informative. We loved the Luna replicas that were hanging on the walls of the mansion. Trivia, one of the former President Elpidio Quirino grandson still lives there.

The Syquias were one of the prominent families in Vigan, and the museum is the best preserved house in Vigan. It is actually a mansion with a stone floored second floor with a fountain! It was also the original Malacanang of the North as this is where President Elpidio Quirino, whose wife is a Syquia, resided when he went to Vigan. If there is one house to visit to give a glimpse into the past, this would be it.

We paid the 30 peso entrance fee to a man who turned out to be the fourth generation servant of the house. In the ground floor it was explained they used to house all the workers for the house along with animals such as poultry pigs etc. moving to the second floor you will see all the original furniture including a Murano mirror from Venice Italy . Then arrived one very nice man to give information and guide us through the house. It is still lived in today by one of the descendants of the first president after the war Quirino. He explained a few features of the house including a peep hole system from the first floor to the ground floor and another from the masters bedroom to the main sala. The four post bed had an excellent meaning of all the intricate carvings. A number of nice paintings and a beautiful terrace. Make sure you spend enough time here rather than the awful crisologo museum.

A potentially great house which is steeped in history and shows how the rich lived. The caretaker was quite disinterested and there is a lack of information on what you are seeing, so it would be worth having a local or a guide with you.

Great job in preserving the house just as it was. So much history and culture under one roof. Maybe more story boards around the house just in case visitors would like to tour without a guide.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to have a glimpse of what life was like for the wealthy during the Spanish era? The fantasy comes true with a visit to Syquia Mansion.With three senior citizens, I love the fact that the tour guide is knowledgeable, engaging and patient with my oldies’ rambling commentaries and questions. This is their kind of place after all. Also because the tour is given per individual group, my oldies didn’t feel pressured to hasten their pace and could take their time as they please.It is just kind of sad that the prayer room is locked because of some previous incidents of theft. It would have been an added experience to kneel in the mansion’s prayer room and ask for intercession for a personal intention.

The caretaker is the 4th generation of caretakers for this house. He knows every nook and cranny of the house and its occupants, so you can just imagine how interesting it is to have him for your tour guide.

This is in central Vigan and the entrance fee is next to nothing. We had time to walk around at our own pace and then a really informative guide found us and took us around again explaining each room and then history of the place. We really enjoyed our visit and then called at Irene's Empanadas which is on the street opposite the mansion, nice historic visit to an old colonial mansion followed by a Beef Empanada - What could be better? Not much I think.

It will give you a glimpse of what it is like to be a wealthy Filipino back in the olden days. Make sure that you have a guide who can tell you the significance of each room otherwise you will just wander around looking at some dusty old things.
