Windows to the Past: Malacañang of the North

#summervacay Located in Paoay, Ilocos Norte, Malacañang of the North stands gracefully by the lake, once serving as the official residence of the Marcos family in the north. Today, it’s a quiet museum where time seems to pause, offering a glimpse into a grander chapter of Philippine history. With its spacious halls, wooden furniture, and large windows overlooking Paoay Lake, the place feels both stately and serene. As you wander through its rooms and balconies, you’re reminded of how history lives not only in books but in spaces and silence, too. It’s a visit worth taking not just for the photos, but for the sense of stillness and story it leaves behind.
