                 Vigan, once a humble municipality, is now a thriving city recognized for its rich history and culture. As a municipality, Vigan served as a center of trade and governance during the Spanish colonial era. Its cobblestone streets, ancestral houses, and vibrant community showcased the town's charm and historical significance.

             The transformation of Vigan into a city marked a new chapter in its development. Officially gaining cityhood in 2001, Vigan expanded its services, infrastructure, and economy. It became a hub for tourism, attracting visitors from around the world to experience its well-preserved heritage and UNESCO World Heritage status.

                   Cityhood brought opportunities for growth while preserving its cultural identity. Today, Vigan is a blend of progress and tradition, a shining example of how history and modernity can coexist. Its journey from municipality to city reflects the pride and resilience of its people, ensuring that Vigan remains a treasure for generations to come.
