This was located about two kilometers from the original heart of the municipality of Iloilo which was near San Jose church and Plaza Libertad. With this intended site for Iloilo's City Hall, Juan Arellano (then supervising Architect of the Bureau of Public Works) designed a grand building along with a new urban plan for this burgeoning provincial center.
