The Ruins (NIR Region)

The Ruins is located in Talisay City, Negros Occidental. It is one of the most famous heritage landmarks in the Philippines and known as "Taj Mahal of Negros" which was built because of the whirlwind romance story of Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson and Maria Braga. Now, the remains of the burnt mansion is a majestic sight to behold. Its huge, ornately designed fountain reminiscent of those in piazzas around Italy stands proud by the front entrance of the mansion, back-dropped by the Simborio – the smokestack outside where the ancestral home used to be, which actually was the vent used for milling fine mascovado sugar at the plantation.
