Arroyo Fountain
Arroyo Fountain is a historical landmark in Iloilo City, Philippines. It is located in front of Casa Real de Iloilo, or the Old Iloilo Provincial Capitol, in Iloilo City Proper. It was named after Senator José María Arroyo, who authored the law, Republic Act No. 3222, that established the then Iloilo Metropolitan Waterworks in 1925. The fountain stands as "Kilometre Zero", the benchmark used to measure distances from Iloilo City to other points in Panay Island, the Western Visayas region, and other places in the Philippines. It was declared an Important Cultural Property (ICP) with the Casa Real de Iloilo by the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) in December 2022. As of May 2023, the fountain is currently undergoing rehabilitation. The rehabilitation includes steel work like panel grills, plumbing and electrical work, and repainting. History 
Arroyo Fountain was built in 1927 after a law that established the Iloilo Metropolitan Waterworks in September 16, 1925. The site of the structure was where the original flagpole of the old Provincial Capitol used to stand. The fountain is a sculpture composed of originally four naked Grecian icon muses holding overhead a large basin that is overflowing with water gushing from a spout at the top and flowing down to gather in a larger collective basin. However, in 1929, at the insistence of the Roman Catholic Church, the naked muses were later "clothed" in flowing garments and underwent re-sculpting to appear as what the statues look like today. In December 2022, it was declared by the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP), together with the Casa Real de Iloilo, as an Important Cultural Property (ICP), as the fountain will undergo rehabilitation. In modern times, the fountain still stands in the middle of the road, serving as a roundabout for vehicles coming to and from the different districts of the city. References
