The Pangasinan Provincial Capitol, on Lingayen Gulf, is the present seat of the government of Pangasinan. It was declared as one of the eight Architectural Treasures of the Philippines by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.[1] Located in Lingayen, this government building was constructed during the term of the late Governor Daniel Maramba, the "Grand Old Man of Pangasinan".[2] On the central concave portion of its façade reads, an inscription says, "Province of Pangasinan. Erected Capitol Building AD MCMXVIII by the Government and Administration of Civil State promoting Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness."
