Silay

Silay attracts visitors rapidly even if it doesn't immediately appear to be as attractive as the neighbouring provincial capital of Bacolod because of its rich history. Silay was the hub of the island's rich sugar industry in the 19th century and was once referred to as "the Paris of Negros." Grand sugar houses were all over the town during the Golden Age of the industry.

Many of these old homes are still standing today, and some of them have been turned into fascinating museums. The town is especially delightful to visit in June, when the Charter-Day celebration is celebrated. This vibrant yearly celebration includes a competitive street dance competition.

Silay, another city that has been magnificently conserved, is frequently called to as the "Paris of Negros" because of its collection of historic homes (it has the most in any city in the Philippines). The city is regarded as an intellectual hub since it places a strong emphasis on architecture, history, and culture. Almost every location and structure has a fascinating history.
