Parián

For the building in Mexico City, see El Parián Commercial Passage.

Pariáns were districts of cities in the Philippines during the country's Spanish colonial era where Chinese were required to live by Spanish colonial authorities. The most famous is the parian of Manila but both Cebu City[1] and Iloilo City had parians. Cebu's parian was founded in 1590 after the arrival of Chinese traders and was supervised by the Jesuits.[1] Molo was the location of Iloilo's parian.
