Heritage houses

The main attraction of the Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is its heritage houses, which were transplanted from outside Bagac, Bataan. The houses are disassembled from their original location and reconstructed inside the premise of the Las Casas Filipinas. This method of heritage conservation has been contentious among conservationists since they believed that their original communities could have benefitted from the structures had they been restored on site.^[11] The heritage park's proponent Gerry Acuzar claimed that he went with the method in order to save the structures from decay and neglect.^[4] The heritage park was lauded by the Department of Tourism in 2021 under Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat for its preservation efforts.^[10]

Houses included in the Las Casas Filipinas are evaluated for their historical, cultural and architectural value. Most structures dates back to the Spanish colonial era, but some buildings were built later such as the Casa Lubao which was built in 1920 during the American era.^[4] The heritage park also include a torogan, a Maranao royal clan house from Lanao in Mindanao.^[12]

Among the notable houses transplanted to the heritage park are: Casa Bizantina, Casa Hidalgo, Casa Jaen I, and Casa Unisan.

Other structures

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar also hosts a small church known as the Sanctuario de San Jose.^[13] Other features include the Napiya Spa, a swimming pool.^[14] The Tulay ni Lola Basyang is a bridge that crosses the Umagol River and is a replica of the old Puente de España in Manila.^[15]
