Vigan is a small town in Ilocos Sur, in the northern part of the Philippines. It has now become famous because it has become a UNESCO Heritage site. When you go there you will be transported to another place … to another era in time. With cobblestone streets, 19th century houses, carriages and calesas(horse drawn carriage) passing by and carrying passengers. This place has been preserved and shows the rich culture of days gone by.

I have here some seats, chairs, benches photos for Xingfumama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge
