Bonifacio Trial House

The Bonifacio Trial House is a late 19th century residence in Maragondon featuring Spanish-Filipino architecture. The structure combines a stone ground floor with a wooden upper level fitted with capiz shell windows.

The house hosted a military tribunal against a key revolutionary leader in May 1897. This event marked a turning point in the early struggles for Philippine independence.

The building shows how people gathered for legal proceedings in the late 1800s. The rooms help visitors understand the weight of what happened within these walls and why it mattered to the nation.

The site operates as a museum with regular exhibits about this period. Visitors should expect narrow spaces typical of 19th century residential design.

The reception hall where the tribunal took place still preserves its original furnishings and layout from 1889. Preserved architectural details allow visitors to see the space much as it appeared then.
