For most of its history, the province of Camarines Norte have looked upon its Provincial Capitol for direction and support, and it has become an important institution to the everyday lives of the people.

The Provincial Capitol of Camarines Norte is one of the most beautiful provincial capitols in the entire country.  Reconstructed from 1986-1995, it provides a permanent seat for the Provincial Government of Camarines Norte. The structure, a landmark in itself, is reputed to be the most poshly constructed provincial government in the Bicol Region. The Doric-like facade of the building is propped up by twelve columns symbolic of the twelve towns of the province. 


How to get there

The Provincial Capitol is located in Daet in the province of Camarines Norte.

By Land

Camarines Norte is about six hours drive from Manila through lush forests and picturesque seascapes. Leave Manila before dawn and eat a sumptuous breakfast of native dishes in nipa huts along the highway. Drop by fruit vendors along the way and savor the place's most delectable fruit - the piña. Before noon, you'll be in Daet, the capital, in time for business or pleasure. You can ride a bus from different bus companies like Amihan, Superlines, and PhilTranco in the terminal located in Pasay and Cubao.  

By Air

Camarines Norte can also be reached by air through the Pili Airport in Camarines Sur.  Airline companies like Zest Air, Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific have routes from Manila to Pili, Camarines Sur. From the airport you can take a bus or a cab to Daet via Naga City, Camarines Sur's capital and home to Bicol's Patroness - Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia.
