Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar


A living museum of Philippine customs and traditions are re-born in a community typical of the 18th
 to early 20thcentury Philippines.  Historical Principalia  or noble class mansions, House of Stone  or
 Bahay na Bato and Wooden Stilt  houses that once, were  old and decaying architectural  pieces of
 a  bygone era  and slowly fading into the background of modern urban life are now,  restored  in 
a picturesque setting reminiscent of a Juan Luna or Amorsolo paintings.  These architectural
treasures that have been carefully and painstakingly reconstructed from different parts of the country
 and rebuilt, “brick by brick” and  “plank by plank”  now ,  stand resplendent with pride  against a
 backdrop of majestic mountains, expansive rice fields and   a running river that flows to the sea.
Currently, there are twenty seven  heritage architectures, each full  with memories and history.
Walking along village cobblestone streets or riding one of the caruajes (horse-drawn carriages) commands 
a feeling of nostalgia and wonder, romance and appreciation  of simple living  at its best.
At Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, the legacy of our forefathers and the beautiful Filipino traditions live on.
 It is a step back into the past, reliving the age- old traditions and practices distinct to our culture, without 
leaving the luxury and comforts of the modern world.
A showcase of Filipino talent, ingenuity and craftsmanship, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar takes pride
 in the past... And keeps its hope for the future.
