Palacio de Memoria is a cultural purveyor housed in a restored pre-war mansion. The mansion, a seven storey architectural feat in colonial revival style, dates back to the 1930s. Anecdotal reports claim that the estate & original two-storey seaside property was commissioned by Antonio Melian y Pavia, third Count of Peracamps, and his bride Margarita Zóbel de Ayala. Unfortunately, not much is known about the building's architect, but an Art Deco terrazo flooring with tinikling motif in the house's main ballroom is credited to National Artist Juan F. Nakpil.
