This is one of my favorite heritage sites here in Cebu City the Casa Gorordo Museum. It’s an excellent way to learn about Cebuano culture from the past. On my first visit to this museum, I was amazed by the ambiance of the place. It’s so beautiful, and I can say that this place, especially the house, is well-managed. On the first floor of the house, you can find statues and other figures, such as saint statues and equipment used by Cebuano farmers, along with collections and more. On the second floor, I was mesmerized by its beauty—from its rooms, which contain many remaining items and portraits, to its dining area, bathroom, and even a card that was used by the owner for fun in the past. The structure of the house is so amazing that it has lasted through the years.

If you plan to visit this historical house and experience the beauty of the museum, its location is at 35 Eduardo Aboitiz St., Parian, Cebu City. The entrance fee to the Casa Gorordo is 100 pesos, and 150 pesos if you opt for a guided tour. It is open from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm. Explore this beautiful and amazing museum here in Cebu City.
