Casa Real

Casa Real is a reconstructed heritage building in central Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte, located near the city plaza along Rizal Avenue. Originally the casa tribunal and residence of the Spanish politico-military governor during the Spanish colonial period, it is notable as the place where national hero Dr. Jose Rizal stayed upon his arrival in exile in Dapitan in 1892. Today it functions as a small history museum displaying Rizal memorabilia, period furnishings, and exhibits on Dapitan's colonial history.

Visitors can expect a small two-storey wooden heritage building reconstructed in Spanish colonial style, located in the city center near the plaza. Inside are exhibit rooms with period furniture, photographs, replicas and memorabilia related to Dr. Jose Rizal's exile in Dapitan, and displays on local history. The surroundings include the plaza, church and riverfront area. Visitors can walk through the rooms, view exhibits, take photos of the exterior and learn about the building's former administrative function.
