This is the most famous landmark in the city of Talisay known as the "Taj Mahal of Negros Island" Located near the city is a landmark that used to be owned by a Spanish family but apparently a fire happened but some of the structure is still standing, the Italianate architecture is really interesting and they have a entire area dedicated to the history, there are nearby cafe and a farm that you can also visit. So overall a great place if you want to know the History and the fascination to the architecture a reason why its one of the top 12 best ruins. Edited 🌟

It was so beautiful!! I’m really glad I came here! The best time to visit is definitely at night! Various spots are lit up, and the scenery is much more magical at night compared to during the day.

I think the timing of visiting before sunset, blue hour, until evening is really nice. You get to see the beautiful building under different lighting conditions. Do watch the video showing thw history of the bldg, and read the info bits posted around the building. The building walls is really smooth! (it was because of the finishing used ) You can also buy sugarcane juice on site 😊 Entrance Fee: 150
