Ilocos Sur Provincial Capitol (Vigan, Philippines)

Vigan (Siudad ti Vigan in Ilokano and Lungsod ng Vigan in Tagalog), officially the City of Vigan, is a 4th class component city and capital of the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 53,879 people.

Located on the western coast of the large island of Luzon, facing the South China Sea, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is one of the few towns left in the Philippines whose old structures have mostly remained intact. Vigan is well known for its sett pavements and a unique architecture of the Philippine colonial era which fuses Native Philippine and East Asian building designs and construction with colonial Spanish architecture that is still abundant in the area (mainly the Bahay na Bato houses and an Earthquake Baroque church). Former Philippine president Elpidio Quirino, the sixth President of the Philippines, was born in Vigan. The entire city of Vigan was later inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage City after being declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a member of the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC).
