Cebu City
A 19th-century Parian house museum showing how a Cebuano family lived
Built in the 1850s and later home to Juan Gorordo, the first Filipino bishop of Cebu. The ground floor is coral stone, the upper floor is wood with capiz shell windows that slide back to open the whole room to the street.
The 2016 restoration added interpretation rather than more furniture: rooms are staged around daily routines — cooking, laundry, devotion, receiving visitors — with the objects that went with them. It is the most carefully explained of Cebu's heritage houses.
In Parian on Eduardo Aboitiz Street, a minute's walk from the Yap-Sandiego house.
