Ocampo Pagoda Mansion, Heritage building in Quiapo district, Manila, Philippines.
The mansion features a three-story structure crowned by a seven-story tower at its northwestern corner, displaying Japanese-influenced architectural elements throughout its design.
Jose Mariano Ocampo commissioned the construction of this mansion between 1936 and 1941, collaborating with Filipino engineers and Japanese supervisors to achieve his vision.
The building combines Eastern and Western architectural styles, featuring Japanese dormer gables, ornate bargeboards, and medieval European defensive elements like battlements and turrets.
The structure now functions as a dormitory while maintaining its status as a heritage landmark, standing as a reminder of Manila's architectural evolution.
During World War II, the reinforced concrete construction of the mansion provided shelter to local residents during aerial battles between Japanese and American forces.
