Roca
Encantada: a Heritage House in Guimaras (San Miguel)
One
of Guimaras’ famous landmarks is the summer house of the Lopez Clan built a top
hill, also known as Roca Encantada or “Enchanted Rock”. The house was built in
1910 in honor of Dona Presentacion Hofilena Lopez. Surprisingly despite the
modern exterior, the idyllic mansion is a “heritage house” as declared by the
National Heritage Investiture. The grand balcony of Roca Encantada offers a
picturesque view of the beach front and Iloilo Strait with “La Islas de Siete
Picados” not far from its coast.
Many
celebrities and other well-known people came here and experience the scenic
beauty of the Enchanted Rock. It is one of the assets of Buenavista.
