This charming museum is in Intramuros, the original 500-year old city that was the nation's capital during during the 300-year-long Spanish colonization of the Philippines. Amid the preserved cobblestones and centuries-old houses is this house, whose owners transformed into a museum by reconstructing it to what it must have looked like 200 years ago. Walk through this authentic colonial-period house to see how the upper-class lived, slept, entertained, and ate during the Spanish colonial times. The walk through takes about an hour, and the entrance fee is less than a $1. It's a good place to include in your larger Intramuros sightseeing trip.
