Jose Rizal Memorial Protected Landscape, Memorial and protected landscape in Dapitan, Philippines
Jose Rizal Memorial Protected Landscape is a protected area near Dapitan that preserves reconstructed bamboo houses and natural features along Dapitan Bay. The site covers hundreds of hectares and includes restored structures that show how life looked during the period of interest.
The site served as a refuge from 1892 to 1896 during a period of political upheaval in the region. It was later developed as a memorial to remember this chapter of regional history.
The name comes from José Rizal's personal retreat during his time here. Visitors walk through spaces that reflect how he spent his days in this remote community.
The site is reachable via the Dipolog-Oroquieta National Road and sits north of the main city. Wear sturdy shoes since you will walk on paths through natural areas and restored structures.
A distinctive rock in the center of the park marks where poems were written during the stay. This spot draws less attention than the bamboo structures, yet it holds deep meaning in the personal story of the place.
