Location: Carcar Rotunda, Carcar City, Philippines

This rotunda (rotonda) found in the city of Carcar is a famous landmark which serves as the gateway between Metro Cebu and southern Cebu province, and a symbol of the city known for its rich cultural heritage, native delicacies and shoe industry.

If you come from the metropolis, you would notice that the national highway splits into two from here. The first road (straight ahead) would lead you to the  southern municipalities of Cebu which face the nearby island-provinces of Bohol and Siquijor. These municipalities include Sibonga, Argao, Dalaguete, Alcoy, Oslob and Boljoon. Meanwhile, the second road (turn right) will take you to the western side of southern Cebu. You will get to reach municipalities like  Barili, Dumanjug, Alcantara, Ronda, Moalboal, Badian, Alegria, Guinatilan, Malabuyoc and Samboan, and see Negros island off the shore. These two roads will then meet at the southern tip of the province where the municipality of Santander is situated.
