Balay San Nicolas is considered the most significant among the heritage houses of San Nicolas.
The San Nicolas Bin-I Foundation, Inc. together with art patron Dr. Joven Cuanang, helped the local government in the restoration of the house, wich was declared an important cultural property by the National Museum in 2015. Mayor Valdes, who described the house as the most significant among the heritage houses of San Nicolas, said the restored house will now be a cultural tourism center with the Valdes-Lardizabal family memorabilia, a souvenir shop, restaurant, events place, a DOT Office, and exhibition spaces for artists.He said the house is their town’s identity that needs to be preserved for the appreciation not only of the San Nicoleños but of the Filipinos in general.
“As the tourism industry strives to recover from the adverse impacts of the pandemic, we have been ramping up efforts toward promoting sustainable tourism, which UNESCO defines as ‘tourism that respects both local people and the traveler, cultural heritage and the environment,’” she stressed.“From this day on, Balay San Nicolas will be an important cultural vessel and a storyteller to future visitors,” she went on.
