This morphological research investigates the historical evolution and urban fabric of Tuguegarao City Center in the Northern Philippines, with an emphasis on the Poblacion region of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. The research follows the city's progress from the Spanish Colonial Period to the present day by examining architectural types, store integration with residential dwellings, and the interaction between historic structures and new constructions. The study emphasizes the importance of infrastructure, religious institutions, and educational facilities in constructing Tuguegarao's urban landscape, citing influences from the Spanish, American, and Japanese periods. This research illuminates the city's historical continuity and the issues of heritage protection in a rapidly changing urban setting by exploring the multidimensional mix of socioeconomic, geopolitical, and ecclesiastical components.
