Heading to Pangasinan? Here are 3 must-visit spots to check out
Aside from being known for its salt production and the picturesque Hundred Islands, Pangasinan is also home to some world-class scenery and spots.
As seen in Claire Lacanilao's report on "24 Oras," Wednesday, the province offers new learnings about its rich history.
Sparkle actor Kelvin Miranda toured viewers to some of the places in Pangasinan you should visit.
1. Capitol building
Constructed in 1917, the Capitol building is among the structures bombed during World War II.
After a renovation, it maintained its beauty and became a symbol of resilience for Pangasinenses.
The building was designed by American architect Daniel Burnham and is one of the eight architectural treasures of the Philippines.
2. Banaan Museum
Casa Real, or Royal House, used to be the Capitol building too, but it is now transformed into a world-class museum called Banaan Museum.
It features replicas of the skulls that were excavated in the Balingasay area of Bolinao.
The archaeological diggings were done in the 1960s, when they unearthed a total of 67 skulls.
3. Estanza Beach
For those looking for a scenic sunset view, a spot called Estanza Beach is an ideal picnic area for families and friends.
The beach is just one tricycle ride away from the town of Lingayen and offers a mesmerizing golden sunset facing the Lingayen Gulf in the afternoons.
