Rizal Shrine

The Rizal Shrine is a small museum in Fort Santiago that exhibits the work and belongings of national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. It contains his manuscripts, artwork, and some pieces of furniture from his hometown of Calamba, Laguna. Apart from its grassy expanse, the park also has a planetarium, dozens of fountains, an amphitheatre, a children's playground, skating rink and Chinese and Japanese gardens. At the bay end of the park, close to the Manila Hotel, is the Rizal memorial and Rizal's execution site, where you can walk in his final footsteps - literally - just follow the painted footsteps on the path. At the Taft Avenue end is a gigantic pond with a three-dimensional map of the Philippines.
