Quema House
The Quema House is the ancestral home of the Quema family in the Philippines. Built in the 1820s, it is a historic landmark in the town of Vigan, Ilocos Sur in the Philippines. The town itself was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.
==History==
In pre-Hispanic times up to the early 16th century, Vigan was a major commercial center in the region, trading directly with China. This commerce resulted to Chinese migration into the area with subsequent intermarriage between the native inhabitants and the Chinese immigrants. During the Spanish colonial period (1521-1898), Vigan became an important supplier of goods for the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade, which led to the rise of a new merchant class whose members are of mixed Chinese, native and Spanish ancestry - the ''Filipino mestizos''. With their increasing affluence, they built their residential houses (''bahay-na-bato'') in the eastern district of the town, previously the ''Kasanglayan'' or old Chinese quarters.〔UNESCO World Heritage Centre (1998). ("The Historic Town of Vigan, No 502rev. 30" ). UNESCO.org.〕〔King, Damaso Q. (1998).("''Ciudad Fernandina O' Vigan''. Vigan Nomination to the World Heritage List." )〕 It is here that Chinese trader Don Enrique Quema built his ancestral house in the early 19th century.
