SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF THE

DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGNS AND ARTIFACTS FOUND
IN THE LOCALITY
CLARIN HOUSE
 The Clarin Ancestral House
dates back to 1840.
Traditional Filipino –
Spanish in design with long
slanting roofs covered with
nipa leaves, it is a typical one
big square house with a coral
stone foundation, rough-
hewn wooden posts, wooden
walls and floors of wide
hardwood planks and a
receiving hall with a high
vaulted ceiling.
MALON HOUSE
 The Malon House is the
largest heritage house in
Baclayon and home to 6
generations of the Malon
family. The Malon house
is now a museum and can
be visited upon request.
It also provides Bed and
Breakfast
accommodations.
LUZA HOUSE
 Luza House built in
1902, the house was the
residence of a wealthy
and influential merchant,
Fortunato Luza and wife,
Maria Ginete.
 The house is elegant with
large capiz windows and
artistically wrought iron
ventanillas.
VILLAMOR HOUSE
 The Villamor house was
built in late 19th century
in the geometric style by
Ciriaco Villamor and
wife Agrifina Buhion.
CASA ROCHA-SUAREZ
 It is one of the oldest
houses in the area. Built
between 1800 and 1830,
two-storey wooden villa
has been around since the
Spanish era and has been
the residence of at least
five generations of the
Rocha-Suarez family.
ERMITA RUINS IN DIMIAO
 The Ermita Ruins are often
referred to as the “honeycomb
tombstones”. The very few
archaeological excavations
conducted on the site reveal
very few information on it,
and thus the rows and rows of
what appears to be
honeycombs are deduced to be
tombstones, since they are
located near ruins that appear
to be mortuary chapels.
BALILI ANCESTRAL HOUSE
 It was constructed in
1934.
 The elegant staircases
that spill into the well-
kept gardens,
accompanied by the
white facade of the
house, hide all of the
years that the house
stood through at a
distance.
