Torogan

A torogan (lit. 'resting place' or 'sleeping place') is a traditional ancestral house built by the Maranao people of Lanao, Mindanao, Philippines for the nobility.^[1] A torogan was a symbol of high social status. Such a residence was once a home to a sultan or datu in the Maranao community. Nowadays, concrete houses are found all over Maranaw communities, but there remain torogans a hundred years old. The best-known are in Dayawan and Marawi City, and around Lake Lanao.
