The Mansion
The Philippine president's summer residence, built in 1908; its wrought-iron gate modeled on Buckingham Palace is a favorite photo spot.
The residence was first built as the summer home of the American governor-general. It was destroyed during World War II and later rebuilt, and today it is the Philippine president's official residence in Baguio. The main house is generally closed to the public, but the black wrought-iron gate modeled on London's Buckingham Palace and the forecourt are must-photo spots for visitors. A small museum inside opens occasionally. Across the street from the gate are the long steps and reflecting pool of Wright Park, which you can visit on the same outing.
