Calle Crisologo
is a 15th Century Spanish Street in Vigan,Ilocos Sur
considered to be one of the heritage sites in the Philippines. It
is lined with antique houses, and specialty shops leading to
the town's hundred year old churches. Natives and tourists
alike are able to wander faster with the "KALESA" as shown
here,the centuries' old way of Filipino's to travel: with a horse
and a carriage.
Calle Crisologo

Named after the prominent Ilocano poet, writer, playwright and


politician Marcelino “Mena” Crisologo, this historical street is where
you’ll find abundant ancestral homes of Ilocano descendants still standing
strong up to this date.

These Spanish-style houses are a perfect representation of the simple yet


elegant living of the Filipino-Spanish families back in the day.

Every edifice seen in the street is fancily decorated with Spanish details
from the red bricks, thick stone walls, wooden double doors and grand
staircases to the magnificent terraces and capiz windows. These houses have
withstood calamities throughout the centuries and as of today, some were
maintained or restored as hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops.

A way to enjoy a tour along Calle Crisologo is through walking or riding the
traditional “calesas” or horse-drawn carriages. These calesas are used as a
mode of transportation back in the 18th century.
