The Malolos Historic Town Center is a historic district located in downtown Malolos City, Bulacan, Philippines. With its collection of Spanish and American-era houses and government structures, as well as being the birthplace of the First Republic of the Philippines, the National Historical Institute (now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines) declares a specific portion of downtown Malolos city as a National Historical Landmark and a Heritage Town.[1]
Contents
Rationale for Declaration as Historic Town Center
The board resolution cites several reasons for the declaration of certain areas in downtown Malolos as National Historical Landmark and heritage Town:[1]
- A number of men and women from Malolos became key figures in revolutionary movements during the Spanish-era;
- Malolos was declared capital of the First Philippine Republic and its Spanish-era infrastructure reused as government offices such as convent of the Malolos Cathedral, Barasoain Church and several houses along the Pariancillo/Kamestisuhan district;
- Malolos has retained a good number of note-worthy, old houses and other buildings which attest to the artistry, craftsmanship and ingenuity of its builders
