The UNESCO World Heritage site of the Historic City of Vigan is an exemplar case of good governance and committed leadership of the local government officials to transform the old town by its strategic opportunity to redefine its Outstanding Universal Values by the revival of the famous historic city called Ciudad Fernandina de Vigan originally created by the Royal Decrees of September 7,1757 issued by Fernando VI, King of Spain. This was considered under the Criterion (ii): Vigan represents a unique fusion of Asian building design and construction with European colonial architecture and planning. Criterion (iv): Vigan is an exceptionally intact and well-preserved example of a European trading town in East and South-East Asia. The strategic vision of the Historic City of Vigan has fulfilled for its revitalization as the best practice in World Heritage Property management and one of the seven wonder cities of the world for the contemporary time.
