Named after the Philippine
national hero Dr. Jose Rizal, the shrine in historic Fort Santiago is a
restored two-story building formerly used as barracks for Spanish
artillery soldiers. In one corner of the ground floor is the prison
cell where Rizal stayed prior to his execution at the Luneta for
rebellion charges.
On display are various Rizal
memorabilia, consisting of books, manuscripts, artwork, shells,
insects, wardrobe and personal effects. Also in the collection are
household possessions of the Rizal family. |
