Taytay Tigre (Spanish Archbridge)

This particilar bridge is called Taytay Tigre and it can be found in one corner of Guimbal’s beautiful plaza.

As pointed out by Inday Hami, we should stop calling our heritage sites as Spanish Structures and break away from that colonial mentality. Even though the friars were the ones who initiated and commissioned the construction of these structures, the Filipinos, our forefathers were ulitimately the ones who built them and only borrowed ideas from Spanish architecture (among other influences).
