Vigan is one of the most preserved Spanish colonial towns in the Philippines. Founded as a Spanish town in 1574, Vigan became a commercial- and industrial center of the northern Luzon region, prospered with natives, Chinese, and Chinese mestizos. The wealthy mestizos in 19^<th> century built costly residence called bahay na bato (house of stone). In December 1999, UNESCO registered Vigan townscape as a World Heritage site, recognizing bahay na bato as a historical "Filipino" architecture. This paper first explains the history of urban residence in Manila, the Spanish colonial capital in the Philippines. In the 19th century, the urban abode formed a certain style, bahay na bato, and prevailed in coastal towns in Luzon and Visayas. Bahay na bato has a unique structure, wooden posts covered with bricks and plaster; it is a solution to frequent fire and earthquake. The distinctive capiz shell window shows eclectic craftsmanship of Chinese, native, and possibly Japanese artisans. Following plan analysis of Vigan's existing bahay na bato consists of the study of spatial patterns, house types and the relations between house- and lot sizes. Examining bahay na bato further suggests the correspondence of Vigan to the Spanish colonial towns in Latin America.
