This monument tell you story about the local hero. we have one in Jakarta, Indonesia, Lubang Buaya. This one completely different. There is no shade so it's quite hot during the day in summer season and I highly appreciate how Phillipines people look up on their hero.

Take a pit stop to visit the Rizal Shrine. Jose Rizal is the national hero of the philippines and is beloved by all filipinos. The shrine is a tremendous statement and pays homage to the man who has done so much for such a tiny little island full of many grateful people.

Sat within Fort Santiago, Intramuros this is not a great attraction for most people. If you know who Joseph Rizal is and your interested in his life then there is plenty here for you but if you don't know your Filipino history it will mean nothing to you.

This is a shrine to Jose Rizal, national hero of the Philippines. It is located inside Fort Santiago which is also in Intramuros. Here we get a glimpse on his last few hours. His works have been translated to different languages

The Fort Santiago (i.e. the citadel which accommodates the Rizal shrine) is open all week but the Rizal Shrine (the building is closed on Monday morning). I arrived at 9AM and I could not wait for 4 hours to go in so I just stayed for an hour in the place, took photos and left. The citadel is the point... More

located inside Fort Santiago, this shrine/museum is dedicated to the national hero. If you have the time, read through the life and story of Rizal and be inspired to be heroic, nationalistic, or just to learn more about the Philippines more through his eyes.

What a sad place. To think that the poor man was shot in the back. The statues are very lifelike and the story is well told.

A doctor who lived a bit more of 30 years... spoked 10 languages!!... dreamed for a Filipinas with justice and "inside" Spain... but the spanish governors, officially "murder" him. Perhaps one day Spain will claim for forgiveness.... (also for the same with Companys, a catalan president).

I am not a big history buff but found this very interesting and well presented. The poem he wrote is presented in many languages.
