A torogan (lit. 'resting place' or 'sleeping place') is a type of pre-colonial vernacular house of the Maranao people of the Philippines.[1] A torogan was a symbol of high social status. They were very large buildings and served as the residence to a datu of a Maranao community, along with his retainers and their families. Nowadays, concrete houses are found all over Maranaw communities, but there remain torogans a hundred years old. The best-known are in Dayawan and Marawi City, and around Lake Lanao.
