Parián

Pariáns were districts of cities in the Spanish East Indies, particularly in the Philippines, where Chinese immigrants (sangleyes) were required to live by Spanish colonial authorities due to the policy of racial segregation during the Spanish colonial era of the Philippines.

Pariáns were originally pre-colonial marketplaces for selling and buying goods from trading ships. It was adopted by the Spanish as market districts for settlements during the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines, before later becoming a term for sangley enclaves. The term is still used to mean "market" in Mexico.
