Preserved historical beauty and glory

The house was formerly known as “balay nga bato ug kahoy” which translates to “house made of stone and wood” and is now widely popular by the name Yap-Sandiego Ancestral House. This was inherited from a Chinese couple by their daughter Maria who married her spouse Don Mariano Sandiego. This is just a quick visit as part of our heritage tour. This house is all that remains in the Parian Street in the 1600s and everything inside still holds history. The owners have kept almost everything from how it used to, from the floor which is made of hardwood and coral stones, to its Tisay clay tile-roof. They have also maintained not just the exterior, but also the interior beauty. There are a lot of artifacts, paintings, old furniture, antiques and wooden religious figures displayed for everyone to witness how people have lived then. #museumquest#historicculture
