I’d been so stressed out with my job as a nurse so I decided to go to Negros to have some relaxing moments with my college barkada. Our group’s original plan was to go directly to Mambukal Resort in Murcia. However, we arrived in Bacolod a little early so we had some time to roam around the city and go to the famed Ruins of Talisay, Negros Occidental.
The place is very accessible. You can ride a jeepney from SM Bacolod going to Talisay and then just a short tricycle ride going to the park. The first time we saw the facade of The Ruins, we were in awe. It was a sight that filled me with reverence.
The garden in front was well-kept and the whole place was very good for picture-taking. The mansion registered well in the camera.
Maybe, the only drawback in this place is its expensive entrance fee (P60). ^^, Because of that, we wasted no time. We immediately took pictures outside and inside of the mansion.
Its history is also well-documented. I learned that the wealthy sugar baron named Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson built the mansion in 1900’s for his wife. When WW2 broke out, the guerillas burned down the building to prevent the Japanese from using the place. The only remaining part is the concrete structure that still stands to this day.
There is also a small bar/restaurant inside where guests can chill out and have some good bonding time.
The welcoming foyer is an evidence that the mansion has withstood the test of the rough past.
The place is also perfect for wedding receptions and glamour photoshoots. (I don’t know how much the rent is for special events but probably it’s a little costly.)
The pictures alone are perfect proofs that we really enjoyed our trip to The Ruins!
