Brief Description
"Established in the 16th century, Vigan is the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines, from China and from Europe, resulting in a culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and South-East Asia."
维甘历史古城
"维甘始建于16世纪，是亚洲保存最完好的西班牙殖民城市。该建筑不仅反映出菲律宾其他地方的建筑风格，而且还融入了中国和欧洲的建筑特色。维甘风光秀美，有丰富的文化底蕴，在东亚和东南亚都是首屈一指的。"
