The Ruins of Talisay
Last year during my yearly vacation, me and my family visited the place called the “Ruins” located in Talisay City, Negros Occidental. At that time the place is already a popular tourist attraction and became a favorite place for events like birthday, wedding, debuts and if someone blogs about Negros Island, the Ruins of Talisay is a must topic.

This morning as part of my daily routine before I start to work, I normally open a browser to read online news and usually the first website that I browse is of course the Visayan Daily Star, to keep me updated what’s the latest news in my province. The article that captured my attention is the “Talisay Ruins on list of 12 most fascinating”. According to the online newspaper, the Ruins of Talisay was included on the “12 of the World’s Most Fascinating Ruins” as featured on Oddee website, an entertainment blog on oddities, attracting over a million visitors each month.

Just for a brief history, The “Ruins of Talisay” was built by a sugar planter named Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson for his wife Doña Maria Braga in the early 1900s but during World War II, the structure was torched with fire by the USAFFE (United States Armed Forces in the Far East) to prevent the Japanese forces to use the mansion as there headquarters.
