Old Provincial Capitol Building (Casa Real de Iloilo)

The Casa Real de Iloilo was built in 1869 during the incumbency of Spanish governor Manuel Iznart. The structure served as the reference point in building constructions and neighborhood developments in Iloilo during the late 19th century. It was connected to the townsquare (Plaza Alfonzo XII), located two kilometers southeast of the building, by a long and winding thoroughfare called Calle Real (Main Street).
