A pause in the street grid
Plaza Salcedo is part of the open space at the heart of Vigan’s historic plan. UNESCO describes it and Plaza Burgos as adjoining parts of an L-shaped space within the street grid.
Pause here to consider how the surrounding buildings relate to one another. The open space is part of the heritage story, too.
See the wider picture
Try looking across the plaza before returning to the closer details of the streets. Let the change in scale shape your walk: from a window or doorway to a building, then to the city around it.
Read about St. Paul Cathedral or return to Calle Crisologo to continue exploring.
