Rizal Shrine, Historical museum in Intramuros, Philippines
The Rizal Shrine contains personal artifacts, photographs, and documents that belonged to Jose Rizal, displayed across multiple exhibition rooms within brick barracks.
The building served as Jose Rizal's prison cell for 56 days from November 1896 until his execution, marking a pivotal moment in Philippine independence.
The museum exhibits include a mural by National Artist Carlos Francisco depicting key events in Rizal's life and his contributions to Philippine literature.
The museum opens Monday afternoons from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM and Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for guided tours.
The right wing of the 16th-century brick barracks underwent reconstruction in 1953 to create this museum, preserving the exact location of Rizal's cell.
