Cebu’s landmark: Cebu Provincial Capitol

Cebu Provincial Capitol


Standing proudly at the north end of Osmeña Boulevard is an eye-catching white building. This is the Cebu Provincial Capitol or Kapitolyo sa Sugbo, the seat of Cebu’s provincial government. The Cebu Provincial Capitol faces the road that leads to Fuente Osmeña.



Construction began in 1937 under the administration of Governor Sotero Cabahug and was completed a year later during the term of Governor Buenaventura Rodriquez. The inauguration ceremony was held on 14 June 1938 and was led by President Manuel Quezon.
