The Ruins: Built with Love

The Ruins

This is the mansion of Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson. During the World War II in 1942 the guerrila fighters torched the mansion thus it was burned down. Now this place serves as a tourist spot, wedding venue and other special events. This  also gives a very beautiful view in the morning and a romantic view in the evening to its guests.
