Bulacan Provincial Capitol

One of the famous landmarks in Bulacan is its Provincial Capitol. The building, erected in 1930, was destroyed during the Second World War. It was rebuilt in 1950 with the assistance of the American government. During the administration of President Corazon C. Aquino, the building was renovated and expanded.
