The Argao Hall of Justice is colonial-era administrative architecture sitting in a town otherwise known for St. Michael the Archangel Parish, one of Cebu’s more significant Baroque-era churches and a certified national landmark. Argao grew as one of southern Cebu’s old trade and agricultural towns, and the Hall of Justice’s stone construction and courtyard reflect that older civic, rather than resort, purpose.
- The stone construction and courtyard reflect the administrative architecture typical of Spanish- and American-era Cebu towns.
- The building sits close enough to Argao’s other heritage sites to work into a short walking tour of the town core.
- The colonial-era facade photographs well against the rest of the town’s older architecture.
