Cuartel de Santo Domingo
Cuartel de Santo Domingo, Spanish colonial military barracks in Santa Rosa, Philippines
The two-story stone building with adobe walls spans across 8.2 hectares of land in the Barangay Santo Domingo district.
Built in 1877, the structure served as headquarters for civil guards protecting the region from bandits and later became a base during the Philippine Revolution.
The building name honors Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican Order, which controlled numerous estates in the surrounding municipalities of Santa Rosa, Biñan, and Calamba.
The facility currently operates as headquarters for the Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police and maintains restricted access due to security measures.
During World War II, the building provided protection for women from nearby towns against potential mistreatment by the Japanese Imperial Army.
