🏛️ Cagayan Provincial Capitol: A Historical Marvel
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and explore the captivating history of the Cagayan Provincial Capitol. 🕰️
Originally situated on the grounds of the former Cagayan Provincial Hospital, today occupied by Primark Mall beside the Cathedral, the Capitol had humble beginnings. In the 1930s, it found its permanent home atop the scenic Alimannao Hills, providing a breathtaking view of Tuguegarao población.
Architect Antonio Toledo lent his visionary touch to the Capitol’s facade, which was completed in 1939. The ravages of World War II took a toll on this architectural gem, but the undying spirit of restoration prevailed.
In 1946, utilizing funds from the Philippine Rehabilitation Act of 1946, the Capitol underwent reconstruction. The resilient efforts came to fruition in 1950, a testament to the dedication of those who believed in preserving our cultural heritage.
Let’s celebrate the legacy of the Cagayan Provincial Capitol, an emblem of resilience and a witness to the rich tapestry of our province’s history. 🌟
