We visited two heritage houses in the the City of Carcar, which is around 45 km southeast of Cebu City. These houses are privately owned and we had to ask permission from the owners.
My grandmother came from Carcar and these well-preserved houses allowed me to imagine how life might have been for her. Please take time to look at the pictures to appreciate the architectural detials and antique furniture in these houses.
The first house is the Balay na Tisa, a Spanish Colonial house built in 1859. This is reportedly the oldest house in Carcar, Cebu.
The second house we visited was the Mancao Ancestral Home, which was built in the early 1900s.
