Cebu Provincial Capitol
A neoclassical government building completed in 1938. Its white dome and columns stand at the end of Osmeña Boulevard, making it one of Cebu's most photogenic buildings.
The Cebu Provincial Capitol was designed by American-era architect Juan Arellano and completed in 1938. Its symmetrical neoclassical exterior features a central dome, Ionic colonnades, and triangular pediments. It is aligned with the tree-lined axis of Osmeña Boulevard. The building is still in use as a government office, so most visitors can only take photos from the outside plaza. It looks especially striking when lit up in the evening. It is about 1 kilometer from Fuente Osmeña Circle and a comfortable walk from there.
