Philippines - The historic city center of Vigan is the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial city in Asia, including the historic grid street plan. Vigan is located in the northeastern part of Luzon. The city was founded as a trading town in 1572 by the Spanish conquistador Juan de Salcedo. Vigan differs from Spanish colonial cities in Latin America because its Latin tradition is tempered by strong Chinese, Ilocano, and Filipino influences.

You really feel like the lady or lord of the house there. Sitting, eating, and sleeping on furniture you normally may not touch in a museum.
