The Bacolod Public Plaza is one of the notable landmarks of Bacolod City, the capital of Negros Occidental, Philippines. It is located in the heart of the downtown area, near the city hall and across from the San Sebastian Cathedral. The plaza is a trapezoidal park with a belt of trees around the periphery and a gazebo at the center. Scattered within the trees are four circular fountains. The plaza was constructed in 1927 as a place for recreation, political, spiritual and cultural activities. It is quite a popular site for outdoor picnics and concerts. The gazebo is often used to house a bandstand and inscribed along the sides of the roof are the names of Western classical music composers Beethoven, Wagner, Haydn, and Mozart.
Hofilena Ancestral House is a great place to visit for watching the finest and the rarest art collections in Philippines. This is also a great place to visit for antiques that belong to principal families of Silay such as Hofilena. The house appears as an ordinary house at the entrance but visitors will get stunned by observing the skills of Filipinos when entered into the house.
Hofilena House houses collections of paintings by renowned artists such as Juan Luna, Felix Hidalgo, Jose Rizal and several others. Now the house is owned by Ramon Hofilena and is considered as one of Silay's Public Museums. It is necessary to take prior appointment of Ramon who will take you to the journey of his historic, cultural arts and crafts collections.
