The Lopez Heritage House, also known as Mansion de Lopez or Lopez Mansion (or otherwise known as the Nelly Garden), is a heritage house in Jaro, Iloilo City, Philippines. It was built in 1928 by Ilonggo statesman Don Vicente Lopez and his wife, Doña Elena Hofileña, one of the earlier members of the prominent López family of Iloilo. The mansion was named after the couple's eldest daughter, Nelly Lopez y Hofileña.[1] Due to its grandiose architecture highlighting the province's aristocratic past, it is regarded as the "Queen of Heritage Houses in Iloilo".[2] The house and its 4 hectares (9.9 acres) property are open for public tours and events.
