Calle Real - It is a spanish phrase which means Royal Street . It starts from Casa Real ( now Iloilo Provincial Capitol) to Plaza Libertad.
Architecture
Most of the commercial and residential establishments are of one or two-story buildings which display European and American of the late 19th and early 20th century influence such as art-nouveau, art-deco, baroque, Venetian-inspired or platoresque
Period of Construction
Most of the heritage buildings were constructed during the late Spanish
colonial era all the way to the 1930’s, which made this street the shopping
district and a center for commerce and entertainment of the region. The first
department store in the region is also located here which was owned by an
Englishman Henry Hoskyn, nephew of Nicholas Loney. The Elizalde and Company building, which is now the City Hall Annex, used to sell foodstuffs and benefited from the sugar trade, manifested its plateresque architecture with the usual balay-nga-bato feature of stone walls in the first level and wood in the second level of the establishment.

movies, one of the most modern cinemas outside Manila during the early 20th century.
