HISTORY
The Queen City of the South
Iloilo was the “Queen City of the South” and the textile capital of the Philippines during the Spanish period. With the opening of Iloilo Port to the international market, the city was the first to export sugar to the world by the 19th century. With the city’s booming economy, the Spanish, Chinese, British, and American developed its vibrant commerce and industries. The numerous centuries-old heritage sites reflect Iloilo City’s illustrious and glorious narrative. These diverse influences have evolved into a rich cultural melting pot.
