Casa Villavicencio, Colonial residence in Taal, Philippines.
Casa Villavicencio features a two-story structure with hand-pressed tin ceiling panels, Art Nouveau wallpaper, and Philippine hardwood throughout the second floor.
Built in 1850, the house belonged to Eulalio and Gliceria Marella Villavicencio, who owned extensive shipping and sugar businesses across Batangas province.
The residence contains a hidden trapdoor in the dining area leading to a meeting room where Filipino revolutionaries gathered during the independence movement.
Visitors can take guided tours of the house for 100 Philippine pesos, which includes local snacks and an informative video about Doña Gliceria Marella.
The house incorporates a volada, an exterior passageway designed for servants to move discreetly during social gatherings at the residence.
