"In the 1880’s, the Spanish Colonial government undertook massive construction frenzy. Its main goal: to protect the ever-increasing maritime trade the Philippines was then experiencing... This brought about the construction of faros (lighthouses) throughout the archipelago." - Architect Manuel L. Noche

Hi ivan!
ReplyDeleteSobrang cool nitong lighthouse collection mo. Nagstart din ako ng sarili ko collection ng lighthouse. I hope mabisita ko din yung iba pa. Soon! If god's will sana magkasama tayo to visit lighthouses.
May light house daw sa fortune Island... di ko lang narating masyadong masukal.
ReplyDeleteIvan, you have inspired me a lot to visit these historic lighthouses. To date, I have visited 20 Spanish lighthouses, all of them I have photographed and accounts of my lighthouse visits were transcribed in my personal travel blog. It would be a great honor and privilege if you would like my facebook page (LakbayLoyd) and visit loydtraveltrail.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteKudos and more exciting travels to come! Mabuhay.
Wow i love this compilation
