Vigan Cityhood - From Municipality to City

 

Vigan is described as the World Heritage City by UNESCO. It is a city that links the modern and ancient world. Vigan has evolved from a simple town to a comprehensive city and yet retains its cultural and historical values.

Vigan as a Municipality Then

Vigan was one of the wealthiest municipalities in tobacco and agricultural trade with its economic focus on Abel fabric. Spanish colonial ancestry homes, cobblestone streets, and the town's Spanish layout added depth to the history of the town. Traditions were deeply ingrained, and life was simple. Vigan as a City Now

Vigan evolved as a municipality city in the year 2001; its tourism continues to develop since then. Having the heritage area of Calle Crisologo plus up-to-date structures has revitalized the economic strength. In recent years, culture is not buried as various forms of event participation and festivities preserve the practice among the people of that place.

Conclusion

Vigan, without a doubt, is one example of the possible union between old heritage and modern development. It has already become one of the most sparkling jewels that showcase the Philippine lands and also marks the progress and transformation from small townships into highly populated cities.
