Circling Monte Rosa's Rotunda -- At Monte Rosa Subdivision, Mandurriao, Iloilo City, June 26, 2010

Recently, gated communities have been mushrooming around our place in Hibao-an, a quiet barangay which is part of the District of Mandurriao, Iloilo City. One of such communities is Monte Rosa, a 57-hectare subdivision across from Hibao-an Elementary School.It is owned by Sta. Lucia Realty and Development Inc. in partnership with La Filipina Uy Gongco  Corporation.
One landmark in Monte Rosa that catches everybody's attention is its 'Rotunda'. In architecture, a rotunda is a large circular structure having a dome. Monte Rosa's 'Rotunda' is very prominent because it is located in the center of the subdivision's ring road that leads to all its major streets. Interestingly, the streets of Monte Rosa are named after some of the world's famous cities like London, Rome, Berlin, Athens, and Buenos Aires.
