From The Capitol To The Circle

1/22/2017

Comments

 
​The Cebu Provincial Capitol building is among the oldest structures in the country.  It was erected during the American occupation and was designed by the late Juan Marcos Arellano. It sustained some damage during the Second World War but was quickly restored. It served the seat of government of the Province of Cebu and was declared a National Historical Landmark on July 9, 2008.

​On the other hand, the Fuente Osmeña Circle was inaugurated at around the Cebu Provincial Capitol building was planned. The circle was named after one of the favorite sons of Cebu the late President Sergio Osmeña, Sr. The circle is one of the most recognizable landmarks of the Queen City of the South and is the venue of parties during the Christmas and Sinulog season. It is also where the M Lhuillier Tree of Hope is set up every year.

​Longtime Cebu residents would agree that this part of Osmeña Boulevard is a very memorable place. Foodstreet, the Boulevard, Carlo’s Batchoy, Dunkin Donuts and Manila Foodshoppe are some of the places that come to mind when they think about the road between the Cebu Provincial Capitol building and the circle.

​Many of these establishments were replaced by new structures while others were redesigned to keep up with the times. While structures have continued to exist even up to now, they were either spruced up or renovated. Check out the pictures and see if you can still recognize this part of the Queen City of the South.
