Savidug Stone House Village
Savidug
One of the best-preserved Ivatan stone house villages on Sabtang Island, with thatched-roof stone houses lining narrow lanes.
Savidug village lies on the east coast of Sabtang Island and preserves many traditional Ivatan stone houses. Their coral-stone walls are up to one meter thick, and they have thick white cogon-grass roofs. They are arranged along pebble-paved lanes. Villagers still live in them, and the village is regarded as a living museum of Batanes stone architecture. Near the village entrance are the remains of an ancient Ivatan hilltop fortress (ijang). When walking around, respect residents' privacy and ask for permission before entering any house.
