Heritage Houses in Silay City

The heritage houses are not just landmarks of a golden civilization. They are footprints of Silaynon achievers who made Silay what it is now, I really like the place. This is the chapter of Silay's golden age, when the sugar industry. The Hofileña Heritage House, Silay City's first home to be opened to the public, is celebrating its "50th year of service to the people". 

Hello Silay City Hall in Negros Occidental

Last May 2012, I had a solo backpacking trip in the province of Negros Occidental and my first stop is the one of the highly urbanized City of Silay. Early morning I decided touring the city before going to Bacolod. Silay City Hall is located on the same location as that of the cathedral along Zamora and Rizal streets. 

I wasnt able to go inside the building because its too early! Hehehe! So I decided to roaming first at their heritage or old houses and establishment. Infront of the City Hall you will see a fountain with the sculpture of a boy riding the carabao. The building is not too big and has its simple architectures outside. The tourism office is closed, I cant inquire about the City. You may check their contact details: CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE. Office of the City Mayor, 2nd Level, East Wing, City Hall of Silay City Tel. No.: (034) 4955269. 

Inside San Diego Church in Silay City

Every November, San Diego Church in Silay City is celebrates their annual fiesta. This church must have been social, historical, cultural and has blended with the architectural design. I had more fun roaming around inside the church, many people coming inside every morning and during mass schedule. The altar is very wide and European touch with the combination of Italian design with a great lighting inside. It is also known as St. Didacus which is the patron saint of the church which one of the most beautiful interior design in the province.

San Diego Cathedral in Silay City, Negros Occidental

Silay City in the one of the beautiful spot if you are going to the province of Negros Occidental. San Diego Cathedral is left beside of Silay City Hall. The church is painted as white and has a great photo backdrop, if your going to have some photos in front of church. I take more photos outside the church. It is a very quiet place. It is the only Pro‐Cathedral outside of Metro Manila. It was built in 1920 and designed by Italian architect Lucio Bernasconi. Before I really want to travel Negros because of many tourist attractions, which I made it last May 22, 2012.

Balay Negrense in Silay City, Negros Occidental

From the airport I headed to Balay Negrense which is located near at Silay City Hall. This old house showcase old lifestyles and heritage. They has a four-meter high ceiling and large windows with ventanillas, smaller windows beneath the large windows with sliding panels that can be opened to admit the wind. The lower storey itself is elevated from ground level by a meter-high crawlspace, allowing the wooden foundations to be aired, preventing dampness from rotting the wood.
