Casa Gorordo Museum

A 19th-century stone-and-timber mansion in Parian that recreates the daily life of a wealthy Cebuano family in the late Spanish colonial era.

Built in the 1850s, Casa Gorordo is a traditional bahay na bato, a house with a coral-stone ground floor and a hardwood upper level. It once belonged to the family of Juan Gorordo, the first Filipino bishop of Cebu. Today a foundation runs it as a museum of everyday life. The rooms display 19th-century furniture, kitchenware, religious icons, and clothing, and there is a café on the ground floor. Admission is around ₱100 to ₱150. The museum is closed on Mondays. It is in the Parian district, within walking distance of the Heritage of Cebu Monument and the Yap-Sandiego Ancestral House.
