Ledesma Mansion is a heritage house in the Jaro district of Iloilo City, one of the cluster of grand colonial residences built by the city's sugar aristocracy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The mansion is a characteristic example of the bahay na bato style — stone ground floor with a wooden upper storey featuring wide capiz-shell windows — adapted to the wealth and social ambitions of Iloilo's landed elite.
Jaro's concentration of mansions is one of the best in the Philippines, though many are in varying states of repair. The Ledesma Mansion, Lizares Mansion, Lopez Heritage House, and Casa Mariquit together form a heritage district of sorts, clustered within walking distance of the Jaro Cathedral and belfry. None of these houses function as museums in the conventional sense, but walking the streets of Jaro between them gives a strong sense of what provincial Filipino elite life looked like a century ago.
