Mausoleum of the Veterans of the Revolution, National monument in Manila North Cemetery, Philippines.
The Mausoleum of the Veterans of the Revolution is a neoclassical cubic structure set on an elevated square base with a flat dome that contains air vents. Its design combines clean geometric forms with refined decorative details across the exterior.
The monument was inaugurated in 1920 to honor Filipino revolutionaries who fought during the 1890s Philippine Revolution and the subsequent war with the United States. It was built during a period when the nation sought to recognize and celebrate its struggle for independence.
The facade displays ornamental swags and geometric patterns that reflect the importance of these fighters to the nation. Human figures carved into the stone convey mourning for those who sacrificed their lives.
The structure is located within Manila North Cemetery and can be visited during regular cemetery hours. Information plaques around the monument provide details about the veterans interred there and their contributions.
Architect Arcadio Arellano designed the structure, and it once held the remains of notable revolutionaries including Apolinario Mabini and Emilio Jacinto. Both leaders were eventually moved to other burial locations.
