Casa Real (Royal House) is one of the oldest public buildings and served as the provincial seat of government of Lingayen, Pangasinan, in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. It was where the alcalde mayor held office as the provincial governor and the judge of the Court of First Instance. It was declared a National Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and noted it as "an outstanding and unique example of civil architecture from the Spanish and American colonial periods". Local offices that were housed by the building abandoned it when Typhoon "Cosme" ripped off its roof in 2008. The provincial government of Pangasinan has already allotted funds for its renovation, which will turn it into a museum.^[1]^[2]
