Iloilo City Proper, also known as Downtown Iloilo or simply Iloilo among locals, is an administrative district in Iloilo City, Philippines, located on the southeastern coast of the island of Panay in the Western Visayas region. It serves as the civic center of the city and province of Iloilo, hosting the seat of city and provincial governments, as well as various local, provincial, and regional government offices. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 46,350 people.

Calle Real (transl. Royal Street), officially named as J.M. Basa Street, is a historic street located in the old downtown district of Iloilo City Proper in Iloilo City, Philippines. It is home to several fine examples of luxury Americanera neoclassical, beauxarts, and art deco buildings. The street has been famous since the Spanish era and once served as the city's main shopping center for more than a century.

The street's heritage designation by the local government has been expanded into a zone known as the Calle Real Heritage Zone, which covers the long stretch of J.M. Basa and the streets and thoroughfares of Aldeguer, Mapa, Ortiz, Muelle Loney (Loney Wharf), Solis, Rizal, and Iznart (from FilipinoChinese Friendship Arch to Iloilo Central Market). The area is also commonly referred to as the old downtown of Iloilo.

J.M. Basa was named in honor of José María Basa, a Filipino businessman, propagandist, and close associate of José Rizal.
