Panciteria Macanista


Bahay na bato (stone house) is a type of architecture that developed in Manila in the 1600s and later spread to other colonized lowland areas of the Philippines. This timber-framed architecture combines indigenous building techniques with other Asian and Western influences.


The Bahay na Bato was the defining architecture of Manila. The last surviving Spanish period bahay na bato in Binondo is the endangered Panciteria Macanista de Buengusto which was built in the late 1800s. It is one of the last three-story bahay na bato still standing in Manila.
