Known to the locals as "Malacañang ti Amianan", the Malacañang of the North is a 5-hectare property situated in Paoay, Ilocos Norte overlooking the beautiful Paoay Lake as it's backdraft. It was once the official residence/rest house of the late President Ferdinand Marcos and his family whenever they are in Ilocos.
It is a 2-storey, intricately designed mansion that resembles a 19th century "Bahay na Bato" with a mix of Spanish and Ilocano architecture given by first lady Imelda Marcos to former Pres. Ferdinand Marcos as a gift for his 60th birthday.
Today, it serves as a presidential museum with each room having a theme of historical events from the Marcos era: Study, Agriculture, Diplomacy, OFW (overseas Filipino workers), Culture, Nation Building and Family.
How to Get There:1. Ride a bus bound for Laoag (Farinas, Florida and Partas)
2. Once in Laoag, you can flagged/hire trikes to your destination.
