Arroyo Fountain
Posted by on November 20, 2006
One of the symbols of Iloilo is the Arroyo Fountain. This waterfountain also serves as the Kilometer Zero for the island of Panay. The Arroyo Fountain was built in honor of the late Ilonggo Senator Jose Maria Arroyo, grandfather of First Gentleman Mike Arroyo.

The fountain features four graceful women carrying a large basin over their head. This magnificent structure is located just in front of the old provincial Capitol of Iloilo.




I just love taking pictures of the Arroyo Fountain with the Downtown Area as the background… It’s a good subject when trying to capture the contrast between the old and the new
