Heritage Park "Bahay na Bato" Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar

 

Another place to be to visit in Bataan is the open-air museum and heritage park in Bagac, Bataan, Philippines. The Historical Heritage Park Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar.

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar (literally meaning "The houses of Philippines of Acuzar") contains 30 heritage houses.
Spread over 400 hectares, the park features a collection of 27 Spanish Colonial buildings and stone houses (bahay na bato in Tagalog), planned to resemble a settlement reminiscent of the period. These houses were carefully dismantled, brick by brick, transplanted from different parts of the Philippines and rehabilitated in these premises, to resemble the original structure. For parts that were missing, woodwork and bricks were replicated to resemble the original structure. For this, the Ciudad employs a workforce of 130 people, including 10 wood sculptors, three metal sculptors, 30 craftsmen who design ceilings, and construction workers. There are also five architects, two of whom are historical architects, and two artists
The resort also has a restaurant, a beach, calesa rides and a swimming pool.
The resort plans to house 50 such heritage houses.
