Things to see and do Bacolod City

It is more interesting than the San Sebastian Cathedral, which was built in 1876 and is one of the major tourist sites in Bacolod. From the outside, the chapel of the Sang Virgen barangay looks almost like all the other houses of the Santa Clara housing estate, but this modern facade houses an imposing mosaic of 2.50 meters by 6 meters, composed of nearly one hundred thousand shells with colorful tones. Very nice showcase of the local craftsmanship of the shell.

This natural park is a center for the protection of diversity, which aims to preserve the endemic animal species of Negros, most of which are endangered, and to educate and raise awareness of these issues. The sanctuary is home to dozens of species, including fallow deer, wild cats, birds of prey and many other birds. The sanctuary is run by volunteers and is a must-see for those interested in the evils of over-industrialization and animals in general. They are very educational.

It is one of the major tourist sites in Bacolod City. Known as the former sugar capital of the Philippines during the colonial era, Bacolod had developed its entire industry around this commodity. TheRuins is one of the important witnesses of this era. It is the ruins of what was once the mansion of a wealthy sugar industrialist. It was burned down by the Japanese during the Second World War. Today the ruins of this huge mansion remain quite intriguing and beautiful especially at nightfall.

Located in an old agricultural building, this pleasant museum displays old objects that recall the epic of the sugarcane industry in the ^19th century in the Bacolod region. It also displays an international collection of dolls. You can stop here for a cup of coffee. The museum was originally designed for children, but it will also be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about the history and culture of Negros. Many activities are organized for children, as well as guided tours. A pleasant cultural stop.
