Capas National Shrine, War memorial in Capas, Philippines
A 73-meter obelisk rises from the center of this 54-hectare memorial park, surrounded by black marble walls displaying names of fallen soldiers.
The shrine marks the endpoint of the 1942 Bataan Death March, where thousands of Filipino and American prisoners of war endured captivity at Camp O'Donnell.
The memorial wall contains inscriptions of over 30,000 Filipino names, serving as a testament to the sacrifices made during World War II.
Visitors can explore the museum, monuments, and garden areas through designated pathways, with the site opening daily for public viewing and reflection.
Each of the 35 hectares contains individual trees planted to represent soldiers who perished, creating a living memorial within the shrine grounds.
