Silahis Center

Silahis Center is a multi-storey shop that sells antiques and Philippine arts and handicrafts. With its wide selection of artefacts, an entire floor serving as an art gallery and its location in a beautiful old building in the Walled City of Intramuros, the shopping experience is more like visiting a museum than a store.

Entrance to the store is free and you’re welcome to browse around. Sales staff are not aggressive and won’t make you feel pressured into buying anything. If something does catch your attention, you can call one of them over, at which point you’ll find them to be polite and attentive.
