Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol, National Historical Landmark and capitol building in Bacolod, Philippines
The Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol features Beaux Art architecture with wide steps leading to colonnades adorned with Corinthian capitals in a letter E design.
Built in 1933 during the American colonial period, the Japanese Imperial Army later converted the building into their headquarters during World War II.
The sculptures by National Artist Guillermo Tolentino within the building and lagoon area represent Philippine artistic excellence and governmental authority.
The Capitol Park and Lagoon complex provides spaces for public gatherings while government offices handle administrative services during regular business hours.
The building's construction resulted from Governor Jose Locsin's vision to reflect Negros Occidental's status as the wealthiest province during the sugar industry peak.
