Throughout that period, many landmarks and buildings have housed the activities of both common and prominent people, events that up to now are regarded important in the passages of Maloloss history. Examples are the Barasoain Church, which served as an office for constitutional conventions; the Malolos Cathedral or Basilica Minore, considered as Malacaang Palace at the time; the ancestral houses at Sto. Nio used as offices for the various departments of the government; the Imprenta Nacional, now Casa Real, which was first a printing press before it became the museum known today. These buildings have played a large part in the historical and cultural identity of Malolos that they need to be preserved well in order to tell their story to people and instill pride in them for having a rich and diverse heritage, passed down for generations to come the role taken up by a town tourism center.
