There is a branch of the National Museum in Magsingal, 11km north of Vigan, where Ilocano relics are on display. An ancient-looking belfry (1732), part of the remains of a ruined old church, still stands in front of the museum. The museum itself was once a convent for the ruined church, which was replaced in 1827 by the nearby Magsingal Church , which houses two rather interesting sculptures of pregnant-looking angel mermaids.
