Is one of hidden gems of Cebu City. Originally, a private home, it was built in the 1869s by the Gorordo's, a merchant family. The lower part of the house has walls of Mactan coral stone, cemented using tree sap. The stunning upper-storey living quarters are pure Philippine hardwood known as Tugus, held together not with nails but with wooden pegs. Items on display include gorgeous wooden kitchenware, antiques photos and collection of Berso (hand cannons)
