The "Casa Real" was the residence of the alcalde-mayor or governor, then the highest Spanish Official in Iloilo. The Flagpole gave way to the Arroyo Fountain in 1927. The "Casa Real" on the other hand was remolded in 1960 after Jose Zulueta became the governor of the province. Though some structures might have been preserved, the colonnade at the front of the entire structure was demolished.

Tupas, Sr., it now stand behind the original structure.
