🏛️✨ Step Inside the Life of Legacy: Crisologo Museum, Vigan

#philippinestrip

Nestled in the heart of Vigan’s historic district, the Crisologo Museum isn’t just a house — it’s a time capsule of patriotism, tragedy, and triumph.

Once the ancestral home of Floro S. Crisologo, a respected Ilocano congressman, this 19th-century bahay-na-bato now tells the story of a political dynasty, the turbulent history of Ilocos Sur, and the assassination that shook the nation — all within its preserved walls.

Inside, you’ll find vintage calesas, antique furniture, personal relics, and even blood-stained clothes worn during the congressman’s untimely death inside a Vigan cathedral — a chilling yet powerful reminder of the country’s political struggles.

This museum isn’t just about objects — it’s about a family’s fight for change, the cost of leadership, and the deep roots of Filipino identity.
