TRAVEL DIARY: Casa Gorordo Museum

hey everyone! its me again sharing a photo heavy post about my previous visit in Casa Gorordo Museum in Cebu.

address: #35 lopez jaena St., cebu city
entance: local : Php 40
             foreigners : php 70
             students: php 15

>> i dont know how to commute via jeepney in this place so we decided to just go there via taxi from downtown cebu.

this place is located in a residential area. im quite surprised that its well maintained and not a lot of tourists in the place. its a nice quiet place and it feels like me and my husband time traveled to the Spanish era.

so here are some of the pics that i was able to get,., some are blurry sorry for that but i'll post it anyway.
enjoy.


blurry image but this is what the facade of the house looks like,., its pretty long


some introduction at the entrance beside a small gate


shop and cafe


images inside the museum and stuff you guys might find interesting


the tickets :)

this is made out of stone and im not sure if this is used for grains



this tool i think is used for juicing sugar cane
 the lower level is basically a vacant space with just some displays like racks and stuff,. mostly this is where the house helpers do the stuff like sorting out the grains because thats what the displays shows, 
 lets go to the upper level where you can find the rooms 


not really sure what area is this.., its somewhat a receiving area for the guests
