Visiting The Ruins Mansion
📍Talisay City, Negros Occidental

The Ruins Mansion is the remains of an ancestral home built in 1920 by a wealthy sugar baron named Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson. Don Mariano constructed the mansion as a testament of his love for his Portuguese wife, Cora Maria Osorio Rosa-Braga, after she passed away in 1911.

It was later set aflame in 1942 by Filipino guerilla fighters employed by the United States Armed Forces during the Second World War. This was done in order to prevent its use as a military office by the Invading Japanese Forces.

Entrance Fee: 150
