World Heritage Cities Solidarity Day

No one can deny that Vigan is truly a place of history and culture. A preserve site of heritage structure. With solidarity and its continuity to nurture.

Another great time to visit Vigan is during their World Heritage Cities Solidarity Day celebration every September 8. Vigan celebrates this with other cities all over the world that have their own world heritage sites.

In Vigan this special day is actually commemorated with week-long festivities aimed at strengthening pride in the history and culture of Vigan. This aim is in keeping with the long-term goal of preserving the 630 heritage structures that date back from the 18th and 19th century. Vigan’s well-preserved Spanish trading town environment has survived the test of time, including bombings during World War II which leveled the major Philippine cities of Baguio, Cebu and Manila. 

The day of Solidarity is a great celebration in which can help the latest generation learn about the history of these world heritage cities. It is a fun celebration. And as part of the latest generation, are you willing to embrace the culture and preserve these heritage sites for the succeeding generations to come? Let us take part to the yearly celebration of World Heritage Cities Solidarity Day. Be proud.
