A TASTE OF HISTORY AT CAMALIG
You can’t really say you’ve seen Angeles unless you’ve been to Camalig--
that quaintly old world, fiercely Filipino, trendy turn-of-the-century heritage resto right at the heart of the metropolis.

Imagine, if you will, the serenity of antiquity preserved in stately architecture of wood and stone. Picture yourself surrounded by age-old photographs and relices from a bygone Angeles town. Dine amidst the charm and hospitality of old world Filipiniana.

Located on bustling Sto. Rosario Street, the old camalig ("shed" in the Kapampangan vernacular) is truly a must-see for both residents and tourists as it is the city’s most popular legacy structure that has withstood the twin ravages of time and modernization, having been adaptively reused for commerce long before heritage preservation in business was in vogue.

Built in 1840 by the town's first mayor, Don Ciriaco de Miranda, primarily as a farm shed of light materials (and later upgraded in the early 1900s to its present form by the town's first post-colonial mayor, Capitan Juan Nepomuceno), Historic Camalig Restaurant now stands as a delicate reminder of a gentler era in Philippine history.
